Short Story Unit

Students began a short story unit this week. They have learned the elements of a short story and are reading pg. 3 "Tears for Autumn". They have also been working on a comprehension assignment with that story which is due Thursday. We will discuss the story in class and review the short story elements as they appear in the story. We will begin "Rain, Rain, Go Away" a fantasy story on pg. 12. Friday is an early out so that teachers can work on grades. Mon-Wed - students will be watching "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Tell-tale Heart", two good movie versions (rated G) of these short stories, in honor of Halloween. Student will have movie notes to complete after watching both movies. Please check with me if you have questions about what we are doing.
