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!
