This document provides strategies for a writing activity called "Six Word Story" where students write short stories using only six words. Some suggested strategies include searching online for examples, using a word processor or presentation software, having students create their own images to accompany each six-word story, using a smartboard for students to select words or write their stories, and having students share their stories online or by commenting on a class blog.
