Mystery Unit
Six-Word Stories
According to legend, Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a short story using only six words.
He came up with:   “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
Inspired by Hemingway’s famous tale,
the “six word story” has served as a prompt for decades,
testing writers’ ability to create their own
succinct masterpieces with all sorts of clever results.
The 4-5 students wrote their own six word stories,
inspired by the mysterious illustrations from
The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.  
They created some very clever masterpieces!
