As students have been preparing for the New York State English Comprehensive Regents, I decided to change up the school year a bit and spent an entire quarter on short stories. We dissected several works of literature while covering the elements of a short story. Some fun stories we read were: The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor, The Cask of Amontillato by Edgar Allan Poe and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving. This was a fun way to cover literary elements, characterization and critical thinking skills.
