Tues. Dec. 2, 2014: Short Story Intro. and "Paul's Case"

Today, I gave you a handout about the elements of a short story (review). I then explained that you will be reading five short stories before the holidays and listed them for you. They are as follows:

"Paul's Case" by Willa Cather
"The Destructors" by Graham Greene
"The Rocking-Horse Winner" by D.H. Lawrence
"Miss Brill" by Katherine Mansfield
"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson

I then introduced the background information on "Paul's Case." The students were then given a copy of it to read actively. They will get additional time tomorrow.

Students were reminded to bring their independent novels to class for tomorrow.
