2016 6 Word Memoir Create a 6 word memoir about 2016. It can be a significant memory from the year or a summary of the year as a whole. Once you decide on the final words you will use, write it on the notecard provided and decorate the memoir. Put your full name on the back of the notecard.

Start with a list List as many words, topics, memories, or details as you can about 2016 – activities you did, world events, important memories, feelings about the year, etc. Don’t edit, cross out, change, or rewrite words. Don’t worry about spelling – just write. You are going for quantity, so write as much as you can in about three minutes. You should fill at least one full page.

Brainstorming Now, circle the two or three words that stand out for you, the ones that you could say more about. Pick one item and freewrite about the thought. That means you just start writing about that idea, object, role, or event. The only rule is don’t stop writing for at least two or three minutes. Whatever comes to mind is fair game.

Drafting As a result of the freewrite, you have a sense of your topic. Synthesize, combine the individual elements into an understandable whole, your writing into a phrase that captures the essence of what your topic means to you. Play with the words and create at least four drafts of 6 word memoirs. Ask for help from your peers and teacher. From your drafts, select your preferred one.
