Today, students were introduced to the expectations for American Literature. We previewed the course syllabus, and students filled out student information sheets. We also reviewed the pre-course assignment, which is due on 1/17. Then, students were assigned their 6-Word Memoir writing tasks, which they will present at the beginning of class tomorrow.
6-Word Memoir Assignment
Once asked to write a full story in six words, legend has it that American novelist Ernest Hemingway responded: "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn."
Think about the most significant life event that has happened to you so far. Create your own six-word memoir on a note card, and be prepared to share as a get-to-know-you activity!
Reminders:
