While teaching middle school language arts I had the opportunity to teach Memoirs. It was my favorite unit to teach, especially for writing, because it gave students the creativity and freedom to talk about something interesting or important in their lives, as opposed to other writing pieces that had restrictions due to curriculum requirements. Before writing their full memoir, students explored and created six word memoirs: The only requirements being it had to be six words and there needed to be a message. This is how I will strive to write my book recommendations - in six words or less. Quick and to the point!
