The challenge was that they could only use six words.

The memoirs were combined into a large slidshow (featured on the blog) and each day three students were featured on Coonley's twitter feed. ]]> 2022-09-20 01:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nteacher26/d5hokwfi6hhek897/wish/2303985404 nteacher26 https://padlet.com/nteacher26/d5hokwfi6hhek897/wish/2303986587 Students could easily share experiences and memories- the opportunity for discussion was high

Students could see, respond to, and learn from their peer's work

Directions were limited and loose- provided more room for student interpretation and creativity]]> 2022-09-20 01:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nteacher26/d5hokwfi6hhek897/wish/2303986587 nteacher26 https://padlet.com/nteacher26/d5hokwfi6hhek897/wish/2303987736 Were students allowed to illustrate their memoir?

Could English Language Learners or students with diverse needs speak or use pictures to share their memoirs?

How long were students given to complete the assignment?

Were student examples provided?]]> 2022-09-20 01:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nteacher26/d5hokwfi6hhek897/wish/2303987736 nteacher26 https://padlet.com/nteacher26/d5hokwfi6hhek897/wish/2303988433 I'm not sure if Coonley's memoir idea was birthed from this site, but I found a website dedicated to 6 word memoirs. 

You can read thousands of memoirs and even add your own!

I'm considering posting an age-appropriate memoir each day and inviting my students to respond.]]> 2022-09-20 01:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nteacher26/d5hokwfi6hhek897/wish/2303988433
