Sophomores Publish 100-Word Memoirs

Earlier this year, all of my students were challenged to
write a memoir in exactly 100 words. No more, no less. I was so proud of their
efforts and practice in the economy of language, so I wanted to “publish” them
in some way. I used Google Sites and I’m happy with the uniformity of layout.

You’ll notice two posts of my own. This year, inspired by 180 Days (Kittle and Gallagher), I’ve
tried to write in front of my students. For this assignment, I projected my
drafts in class and asked for student feedback on how to cut my memoirs down to
100 words without losing the central essence of my message. They loved advising
me.
Hope you enjoy their creative writing.
