I came to know about the book on Six-Word Memoir last week, and you came out with the video clip in 2008, really advanced! Bravo to your students and also you, as a teacher, for trying new things with the students. It’s really nice ^_^
my six words:
tattood and beautiful, still have brains
i really like how your class set the pictures to their 6 words. i go to a vo-tech school so i dont get to do fun writing assignments anymore its all work based
ya…
Thanks for watching and reading my student’s work. Their work thrives on an audience. Even when some members do not like what is created. At least you read and responded. Try writing one yourself and you might see the power of the exercise. (Remember, it is only a writing exercise to help students hone their writing skills and have some fun playing with words).

I was immature at every age.
Hello All!
