Using Freytag's Pyramid as a model, you will create a model to show the various elements of a short story as outlined in Freytag's Pyramid, based on EITHER the short story of My Financial Career by Stephen Leacock OR The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin.
Be creative and use any model or diagram that you like, but it needs to have all 7 elements in the correct order and spacing (Exposition, initial Incident, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Resolution, Denouement). Key points are fine.
Be ready to casually share your model with the class in a short AS Learning Sharing.
