THE SHORT STORY

Highlighted by reproducible excerpts from short stories and numerous handouts, this teaching resource provides challenging lessons to introduce major elements in fiction and develop critical reading skills. Students study an author’s effective use of plot, character, theme, point of view, symbolism, and imagery. The stories, by such writers as Eugenia Collier, Liam O’Flaherty, James Hurst, and Toni Cade Bambara, were selected to appeal to the interests of adolescent students. Grades 7–12. Spiralbound.
