Ernest Hemingway was a very famous author.
He was encouraged to write a story in just six words.
Here is one that he really liked and thought was one of his best works … so the story goes.
‘For sale: baby shoes, never worn.’ [This started a brilliant class discussion]
Please add your own 6 word stories in the comments.
Please let other people know so they can visit us and join in the fun.
We will collect them and present them for everyone to share.
Our negotiated task
- Write a ’story’ using 6 words.
- our 1st one – by Kyle “We have lots of fun here”
- It can be any 6 words but sentences are good too
- no swear words, it must be appropriate for our age (8 and 9 year olds)
- remember ! “…” , ? capitals . ‘
- it must be a story, give the sense, idea or part of a story … people can read into it what they want
- twists (unexpected endings) are fun
minLegends - write as many as you like for a post in your own blogs but please add a comment here with your best one.
