Introduce yourself to the class…in just six words


Your challenge is to write a six-word memoir.

Why just six words? Because that is the rule of the game! Learn more about the Six-word Memoir Movement:

The book:



It began (and continues still) at Smith Magazine

Some examples if you need inspiration:

On Twitter and more Twitter!

This is the six-word memoir I created for my Fall 2010 class:

And my Spring 2011 class:



This summer I wrote this six-word memoir for my Morehead Writing Project work:

Head too full...it's gonna blow!

These are some six-word memoirs created for other classes:

Mr. Ream’s 9th grade class:


Mr. Wright’s Creative Writing Class:


After you have created your Twitter account and the class Twitter account is following you (it might take a day or so for that to happen) then post your six-word memoir to your Twitter account. Please include  #sixwords at the end of your post to "label" it and link it up with other 6-word memoir Tweets.

Also add your six-word memoir to your Twitter "bio".

Not required but strongly suggested: Share your six-word memoir on Smith Magazine so you are officially a part of the movement!
