  • A comment on Conversation: Can you define your life in just six words?

    Jan 15 2013: Sure thing!
    Here's one a student wrote about Hamlet: King's ghost: first dominoe to fall.
    Here's one about Polonius: I have too much to say to (the joke was that Polonius, being such a talker, couldn't contain himself to 6 words).

    I find this to be incredibly fun while it also challenges the students to distill their knowledge about a topic or character down to its most basic parts. They LOVE this assignment (and I love your book!).

    A comment on Conversation: Can you define your life in just six words?

    Jan 15 2013: I share this book with my students each year (6th grade gifted students) and have them do this for characters in the novels we read. Such a great creative exercise!
