Key Concept

It is important that students are aware of the parts of the short story in order to accurately analyze an author's work.

Teaching-Learning Strategies

Task One: Breaking it Down into Parts

Reviewing the different parts of the short story(.doc) or (.rtf) is important before reading a story in class.

pen Although students should have been using these terms in ELA classes in the past, giving them a handout of terms will provide students with a reference point when they need one.

Want to see whether students have mastered the short story terms or whether they need review in this area? Have students try this on-line quiz!

After you have reviewed these terms with your class, read a story with the students. Have students apply their understanding of the terms by identifying all of the parts of the short story.
