For the past two weeks we've been working on our six word story videos. This was an independent project that some people filmed at school but others, like myself, filmed at home. This was fun because you could do it about anything you wanted. I made my six word story about dance. My six word story was, "Achieving your goal never comes easily". My goal for my video was to show how I get ready to go to dance practice everyday because practice makes perfect and the only way you'll accomplish your goals are through practice and determination. I really enjoyed filming as well as editing my video for the six word story project and I hope we get to do more creative projects like this in the near future.

Today in class we started a new project about six word stories. A six word story is simply a short text sequence with six words that typically tells a meaningful story. We also learned a little bit about Ernest Hemingway and were told to research about one of Hemingway's most famous six word stories, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn". When I first read this I didn't really understand what it meant so I took a little bit of time to break it down. My first thought once I understood it was that it was about a women who had a miscarriage and bought baby shoes that her baby could never wear, so she was selling them. I also thought that maybe she might've been selling the baby shoes because maybe they were going bankrupt and money was tight around this time for many families so I thought it could've been to earn more money. After some research, I discovered from many different sites that the meaning was indeed about a mother who had a miscarriage and was selling new, never worn baby shoes. I thought this was super sad and depressing. Not only did I research Ernest Hemingway and his six word story, but I also discovered a few other six word stories that stood out to me. The links to them are as follows:
