This week in Humanities we will start a short stories unit. We will be selecting a wide variety of stories to read and view in order to achieve our learning outcomes. In addition, students will learn the five elements of the short story: plot, setting, characters, point of view and theme. Our overarching goal is to read, write and respond to a wide variety of text. Comprehension is also a main goal of the unit.
The first story we will look at is "The Hockey Sweater" by Roch Carrier. Following our notes on the elements of the short story, students will watch the narrated version of the story. "The Hockey Sweater" by Roch Carrier
Activity
Create a plot graph of your own using the story, "The Hockey Sweater." Students can work alone or with a partner to create a poster outlining the plot elements (exposition, rising action, conflict, climax, falling action, resolution) as discussed in class.
