Hello 9s,

This is a quick recap of what we have been working on over the past two classes.

In keeping with our work on ‘micro fiction’ and close reading/writing, we have begun looking at 6 word stories.

We read the following:

* You have done a terrific job of noting when a story focuses more on charater, or plot, or mood, or theme or setting. You have supported your views with evidence.
* You have noted which genre each story seems to be and have been able to tell us why you think so.
* You have noted how this type of work is open to multiple interpretations while it is NOT open to ALL interpretations.
* Like the other types of stories in this sub-genre of micro fiction , you note that the author invites the reader to share in creation/interpretation of the tale.

Now, you are writing of your own 6 word stories. Due Wednesday January 9th.

  • Each story is to be accompanied by either an image or a colour/texture to augment the intent of the tale. No text other than the story may be included.
  • If you set it to music, the music must have no lyrics.
  • If you choose to do it using the tool we have been working with here is the link to the online version (or you can use the free app):https://spark.adobe.com/ Feel free, however, to use PowerPoint or your own 2D artistic skills if you prefer. 
  • Please be careful to only use open source/free images and music you own. If you are using your own photos, please do not include images of others without their permission.
  • Remember that every word counts; tone, mood, connotation, grammar, punctuation, even font style ought to be considered.
I am very much looking forward to these!

Finally, thank you for taking part in our secret pen pal activity. I think we will be carrying this into the new year. Stay tuned!

Have a happy restful weekend everyone.
Ms. S
