So much to say in so few words… Micro-Fiction So much to say in so few words…

Writing is classified as micro-fiction if it tells a story in 100 words or fewer. A new movement in micro-fiction is the 6 Word Memoir…people are asked to tell a whole story or sum up their life in only 6 words. What is Micro-fiction?

As each piece of micro-fiction is shown, read it and then move around the room to find ONE person to talk to about the writing. Discuss what it’s about, what is the bigger story that it is hinting about, any questions you have, etc. YOU MUST SPEAK TO A DIFFERENT PERSON EACH TIME! Practice being FRIENDLY. Introduce yourself, ask how they are, etc. YOUR JOB:
