Students should be working on their short story presentations. They should know the main literary elements of their chosen stories, and have some ideas about how they are going to present their stories to the class (conveying plot and teaching a lesson). All presentations will be due on Monday, October 24th. I have booked the computers in the library on Wednesday of this week for groups to work together.
Next Thursday, we'll have a test on the short stories we've been reading. In class, students filled out review sheets on "Gentlemen, Your Verdict", "A Handful of Dates", "The Story of an Hour", "A Serious Talk", and "Hills Like White Elephants". On the test, you'll be expected to know aspects of plot, character, conflict, symbol, irony, point of view, and theme on these stories. Additionally, students will be asked questions on literary elements outlined in the yellow handouts I have distributed to the class. You may find these handouts on this website (right hand sidebar) or in my classroom.
