How do you tell your story in just six words? Students in Mrs. Gill’s class took on the challenge, crafting personal six-word memoirs that capture meaningful aspects of their lives.
This creative activity is more than fun—it’s an introduction to the power of language and self-expression. By choosing words thoughtfully, students learned how language and rhetoric shape impact and connect with an audience.
These memoirs are small in size but big in meaning! 💡
