Quick Write - 1cent per Calorie

I think that it would definitely change peoples eating habits. For me it would because I wouldn't want to spend my money on junk food that's not good for you. People would hopefully realize they can save there money and buy and eat healthier food. -Best of both worlds. I would hope people wouldn't still want to pay a lot for their food. I think the fast food places would still be in business because some people would probably still spend their money even if it's overpriced.

Quick write - Robot

If I had a robot servant in the future it would be very strong in cooking and baking and make meals and treats, because i personally do not enjoy cooking or baking ..also not very good at it. It would be taller then me and have very small figure. It would talk in an Australian accent.

Six Word Memoirs De-brief

What did I learn about storytelling? 

I found that depending on the word choices and punctuation you can easily tell a story, it's up to the reader to make the detail and go beyond what is shown. I learnt that it wasn't easy to come up with six words on the spot and it took a while to figure out the right words to use to fit in for the story you are trying to tell. To me a story was always something more then six words and had plenty of detail. I learnt now that it may not have plenty of detail or a main point that you can tell right away but you can still tell a story in just six words.

Where did I show my knowledge about using storytelling skills? 

I showed my knowledge using storytelling skills by trying not to use simple words that could have various meanings. I wanted the words to fit properly in each memoir. I also showed my knowledge by the punctuation. The punctuation helped give effect to my six words and tell the story better. Even though there was six words I still tried to use as much punctuation as possible to try and tell the story better. I also learnt that the picture I choose makes a big impact for a better understanding of the six words.

What did I learn as a reader, writer, thinker, storyteller?

As a reader I learnt you can make out a full story with six words. It can be easy yet difficult to fully understand what the words are trying to portray. As a writer I learnt that stories can be told in six words or six pages. It takes time to find the right words to write the story you want readers to understand. As a thinker I learnt you have to really look past the words and go beyond whats in from of you.

Six Word Memoir #8

I took this picture during summer at Frenchway bakery. I was babysitting close to there and decided to go one morning! I really enjoy the photo because it's such a cute latte picture. I usually don't take pictures of my drinks or food like some people do, but I liked the look of the unique cup and foam from my drink. I made the font hand writing because I thought it added a nice touch. I added "... "at the end of the memoir to keep the reader thinking. 

Six Word Memoir #7

This is a picture of my sister in her pointe shoes. Her and I have been doing pointe for 3 years, I would say it has to be one of my favourite types of dance I do. The memoir was meant to tell the story of when I dance I can escape everything around me. I put the color to black and white because I like how the shadows of the pointe shoes are very noticeable. I used a font that was elegant and pretty just pointe dancing.

Six Word Memoir #6

This is a picture of my cousins backyard, it’s the only house on my mothers side that hasn’t moved houses since my childhood. Their house can always make me think of the fun times I had growing up and spending time there. I think it would be fun to relive my childhood because being a kid was definitely easier and lots of fun! I added the black and white effect because I think it gives the impression of the past, I also added a smaller font to focus more on the scenery in the picture. 

Six Word Memoir #5

I choose this picture from my road trip out of the many pictures I took because it has the cool effect where it looks actually looks like your looking out the car window. I brightened the sky, road and fields to highlight where the color shows the most during pictures. I had an amazing time during my road trip and it would be amazing to have another. I made the font look like someones writing as if someone was actually writing the sentence. I added the coma so you would pause while reading it to stop and think.

Six Word Memoir #4

This is a picture of my dog, his name is Ernie. A friend gave him to us when they moved houses and couldn’t take him. He is always there to greet me whenever I come home no matter what time it is. The memoir is saying how he is my favorite to come home to. I always say he’s my main man because he is the only guy living in my house. I used the color yellow because it’s a happy color, I didn’t make the font super big, that way it wasn't to much yellow. 

Six Word Memoir #3

I thought of this memoir for this picture right when we got the project. I always loved this picture my friend took while we were driving through Kansas and thought it fits perfect. “Choose Love” was written on a bridge we drove by. I thought it was very unique and was nice to see because something that is so small like that can brighten someones day. I made the font bigger to emphasis the memoir, I made it a bright pink color because its the color most people think of for love, also for it to add some color to the picture. 

Six Word Memoir #2

I choose this picture taken by my friend at the beach because it shows how when your at the beach you can just forget about anything in your life and just take the time to do anything you like (as shown in this picture make a giant a flower out of rocks) I added a smaller font thats more calm and not to over whelming just like the beach. I used the same color as the brown rocks shown in the picture. I added the exclamation point to give more of a cheery feel because its something happy.

Six Word Memoir #1

The memoir added to this picture was meant to show how the state has so much to do and see but to me I have no memories there, so its empty to me. The font was meant to be plain and red to match the red on the sign.  I took some color out of the picture so it didn’t look to colorful. I didn’t make the text to big because I wanted the focus to be more on the sign and background.
