Six Word Memoirs

9/2/2015

 
Students in Mr. Wyant’s English 2 classes are learning about six different writing purposes this semester.  The first writing purpose they are studying is writing to “express and reflect.”  Their first weekly writing assignment was to write “six word memoirs” in which they had to write a series of memoirs about their life using exactly six words.  Here is a sampling of how our sophomores sum up their lives in six words.

Rod, reel, relax you’ll be hooked.

Break down my walls, discover me.

Definitely as blond as I look.

Baseball is life, not a hobby.

There’s no time like the present.

Homework, a danger zone, be aware.

Nap time should be a class.

I am a differently wired student.

Feelings are temporary, memories last forever.

Love means expressing yourself to pain.


Life is short...eat dessert first

Work hard, think hard, fail hard.

You can never think too big.

Things will never be the same.

It’s not fat, it’s extra protection. 
I am phone addicted, internet obsessed.

You are my getaway from home.

Giving up is not an option.

If you’re cool, you show pigs.

If it flies then it dies.

Baseball is the best sport ever.

Wrecked my car, shattered my elbow.

My sarcasm is my only defense.

Things I own eventually own me.

Things get better never give up.

Confess my heart, forgive my wrongs.


I’m a bad speaker, worse listener.

Basketball is a way of life.

Pain’s just weakness leaving the body.

Am I even doing this right?

Relax, things work out in time. 

Teacher Six Word Memoirs:


Miss Barnes:
Life goals: teach, travel, be happy.

Mr. Marchese:
Mistakes are evidence that you're trying!

Mr. Biggiam:
Getting better--not a painless process.

Mrs. Schultz:
Always grinding. Don't complain, be grateful.  
Grading's fun....said no teacher ever.
Change nothing and nothing will change.
Pain today...strength you feel tomorrow.

Mr. Rotchford:
Making music - a skill for life.
Placing others before ourselves each day.
Failing, proof that you are trying.
