Explore the timeless world of short stories with our Classic Short Stories Collection. This three-week unit features engaging tales like Rip Van Winkle by Washington Irving, highlighting themes of change; A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett, celebrating a young girl's connection with nature; and The Widow Carey’s Chickens by Gerald Hausman, a humorous glimpse into farm life. These narratives inspire creativity, build critical thinking, and encourage hands-on learning through an array of activities and interdisciplinary connections.


Classic Short Stories Collection supports our curriculum with interactive, literature-based activities. Here are a few examples:


  • Creative Expression through Writing: Through character sketches and a 500-word Flash Fiction Challenge, students practice concise storytelling and create impactful, vivid characters.
  • Critical Thinking in Literary Analysis: Through participation in a monthly short story book club, learners engage in critical discussions, enhancing their ability to analyze narratives, themes, and literary devices.
  • Hands-on Learning Experience with Story Mapping: A storyboard activity brings plots to life, allowing students to visually map out storylines, identifying significant elements like climax and conflict resolution.
  • Interdisciplinary Connections via Digital Storytelling and VR: Students use VR to explore story settings and digital tools to create audio-visual story presentations, integrating voice narration and sound effects for a multi-sensory learning experience.
