Use this page to share lesson ideas on the Six Aptitudes or on whole-brain activities in general.

Here's one for **Story**: Six-Word Memoirs - the Smith Magazine [|website] runs a contest for six-word memoirs, allegedly based on the story about Ernest Hemingway being challenged to write a six word novel (he wrote: For sale: baby shoes, never worn). Having students write their own six-word memoirs would be a great way to develop a (succinct) sense of story. Expand the idea to include six-word reactions, six-word summaries, etc.

For **Design**: One thing I did with my class recently is I ripped their name tags down off a hallway bulletin board and asked them to replace their names with a personal logo as an identifier.
