Unit Description:

All fictional stories are about people and their character traits, a term known as characterization. A story is a story because one or more characters makes it so. In this Short Fiction Unit students will have the opportunity to build their knowledge and understanding of how writers build realistic characters and use plot and dialogue (directly and indirectly) to communicate their themes in a wide variety of short fictional stories from a variety of cultures. Students will also be asked to identify, apply and communicate their understanding and thinking about how writers use various literary devices to enhance the themes in a story and recognize and infer elements, events, and outcomes of stories based on what writers imply.
