⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Laura F. says, "This is an extremely versatile set of activities for helping familiarize students with the elements of short stories. I am using them as supplements and guiding activities in my short story unit and find I can offer choices for students with different interests and aptitudes. I will definitely use this again."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stephen T. says, "This unit resource has been extremely helpful in teaching short story literary analysis to my homeschooled daughters. We are only about halfway through, but I can see such growth in their understanding of literary elements, character and setting and plot analysis, and even their enjoyment of reading the stories. I love that it can be used for any short story. Thanks for this resource!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Erica F. says, "I am always on the lookout for resources I can use to supplement my lessons. This is an excellent resource! I appreciate that it gives students lots of CHOICE in how they show their comprehension, and it appeals to students' various learning styles. It was a pity I did not find this at the beginning of the year......however I will still add some of these activities to my lessons! "
