  6. 13 owes to the short story unit.
  7. So I want to kind of preview the information
  8. that is found on blackboard that you want to be
  9. sure that you look for as you approach the short story unit in the english 13 02 class.
  10. In this unit on short story students will do the following.
  11. You're going to read and study terms from the textbook,
  12. read and study assigned stories, complete quizzes,
  13. complete a unit test and you will write and submit a critical analysis essay
  14. based on one of the short stories listed on the critical analysis instructions.
  15. No more than two students can select a particular
  16. story and there will be a separate video that
  17. goes into a little bit more detail on the
  18. critical analysis instructions upon completion of this unit,
  19. students will be able to synthesize information,
  20. develop ideas within written communication and
  21. consider different points of view.
  22. So for the short story unit in English 1302 there are three stories.
  23. I want you to focus on the story of an hour by Kate Chopin.
  24. One of these days by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  25. and Miss Brill by Katherine Man's man's field.
  26. I'm trying to talk too quickly this morning.
  27. These are required readings for the short story unit, they are required,
  28. there will be quizzes on blackboard for each one of these,
  29. all three of these short stories will also be part of the short
  30. story unit test and you'll see them again on the final exam.
  31. The Story of an Hour by kate Chopin is um in the online english textbook.
  32. However, I found this website,
  33. I'm kind of testing out um at the very top you see the web address, the allocation,
  34. it's new to me but it had a list of all of these different
  35. short stories and the story of an hour kate Chopin is also in there.
  36. I'm pretty sure one of these days is in there as well.
  37. All three of these stories should be, you should be able to find them online.
  38. Alright, so keep that in mind.
  39. In addition to the short story readings,
  40. there are terms that I want to to be sure that you look up, you study, you review,
  41. you understand
  42. These terms begin on page 56 of our online book and you see
  43. the link for the online book at the bottom of the power point
  44. they will be on the unit test. They will be on the final exam.
  45. I can select from any of these terms to be on the final exam.
  46. So when you go to the book, look for fiction, narrative, plot, protagonist,
  47. exposition, conflict, introduction, point of view, climax and denouement.
  48. Those are the things that you want to be sure that you look for.
  49. Hopefully this information will be pretty clear to you of
  50. what you need to do for the short story unit.
  51. I'm available with um any questions that you may
  52. have for any questions that you may have,
  53. so let me know how I can be helpful.
  54. I hope you have a great semester.
