Literature of a Genre: The Short Story, grades 9-12
½ credit, ElectiveThis course has the same aim as general literature courses (to improve students’ language arts and critical-thinking skills), focusing on one genre, the short story. Students determine the underlying assumptions and values within the selected works and also examine the structure, techniques, and intentions of the genre being studied. Oral discussion is an integral part of these genre-oriented courses, and written compositions are often required.
