Six-Word Memoirs

(as written by book characters)

Recently, students in Mrs. Valzania's 6th grade classroom put their Google Drawing skills to work to create six-word memoir titles.  In just six words, students were asked to come up with a title for a memoir that might be written by one of the characters from the novels their literature circles just read.  Additionally, students had to include a image symbolic to the story or character.

Using Google Drawing, students inserted and modified word art and clipart, changed backgrounds, arranged objects on the page and grouped items appropriately.
