College English - 6 Word Essay
As part of our Narrative Essay unit, we studied Ernest Hemingway's 6 Word Essay: "For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn." We analyzed how these 6 words tell a story while being packed with a narrative persona, emotion, and tone. I posed the 6 Word challenge to my students. I suggested they avoid the bumper-sticker, philosophy-of-life approach, but rather focus on telling a story from a significant time in their lives. These students rose to the challenge and exceeded my expectations. Enjoy.
