Hey Teachers! Make Your Own Six-Word Memoir Classroom Book
Introducing the next giant step for Six Words in Schools
Teachers: Make Your Own Six-Word Memoir Book With Your Class
Big news in the Six-Word Memoir world! We’ve joined forces with a fast-moving, innovative publishing company to create a way for any classroom to make their own Six-Word Memoir book. I am so excited about this classroom initiative that I've been moved to make a video (above).
Here’s how it works:
• Teachers order a free classroom kit (or kits for multiple classrooms)
• In that kit is a simple teacher’s guide to introduce the six-word format to students and lead them through the book-making process
• Teachers receive a free book
• Parents order classroom books
• Schools receive money for each book ordered
• Students are proud and published authors
But don’t take my word for it, teachers like Julie Taylor have been using
Six-Word Memoirs as a fun, engaging activity in their classrooms for years.
“I have seen the many powerful ways that this ‘American Haiku’ format can unlock students' creativity. Year after year, incorporating these lessons has really helped our teachers understand how the students feel, and everyone has loved the chance for our students to see themselves as published authors in the Classroom Book."
—Julie Taylor, Director of K-12 Curriculum and Federal Programs Ashe County Schools, North Carolina
Get Your Free Classroom Kit
In the free kit we provide a flexible guide that leads teachers through the process (it's a simple one); teachers create the book with their students; teachers get a free book; parents can buy the book the way they buy class photos; and schools get a solid percentage for every book sold.
Here are a few examples from students:
