Choose one of the following options below. You may work with a
partner or alone.
1. Write an original short story (at least 4 pages double
spaced). It should include an
original title and at least five of the following literary terms
we discussed during this unit:
Suspense Foreshadowing Dramatic Irony
Internal Conflict
Verbal Irony
Situational Irony Symbolism Ambiguity Flashback
Characterization Point of View External Conflict
(direct/indirect)
In your story, you must highlight each part where you used a
literary term and write the
literary term in the margin next to it.
2. Design a classified advertisement for a job position that
would appear in a newspaper.
Then, select a character from a short story weve read and type a
resume from thatcharacter as if he/she is applying for the job
opening. Be sure to choose a well-detailed
character that we know much about. The ad must be designed and
written to look like a
real newspaper ad and the resume must resemble an actual resume
(one full pageincluding a cover letter). In the resume, include an
objective, prior positions and job
experience, education/schools and degrees (if any), hobbies and
interests. The final
component is a list of interview questions the employer would
ask the character and the
answers the character would give on the interview for the job
(at least 10 questions andanswers). Make sure the responses include
information relating to the short story the
character is in. (Must be typed)
3. Create a comic strip or a storyboard for one of the stories
weve read. Be sure that the
captions and illustrations explain the main events of the plot.
You dont have to include
every detail only those that are most important in the story.
The pictures may be
elaborate or simple, but effective. As part of your comic strip
add onto the ending of thestory. Where would it go from there? Add
at least two additional scenes. You should
have at least 12 scenes with captions underneath each explaining
what is occurring ineach scene. The strip should look colorful and
creative.
4. Rewrite three of the short stories as a poem or a song. Be
sure to include important
details, symbols, incidents and conflicts. Each poem or song
should be at least 10 lineslong and typed with an original title
(the song could be a rap) BE CREATIVE.
5. Create a poster on which you choose at least one symbol to
represent each story weveread in this Unit (there are 6 stories
total). Underneath each symbol, write a paragraph
explaining what the symbol is, what it means and how it best
represents each story. Theposter must be large, colorful and
creative.
6. Create a 3-D model of an important scene in one of the short
stories. In the model,
you should include as much detail from the story to show the
actual event and
surroundings of the characters in the story. The scene should
include characters, settingand a one page explanation of the scene
you chose, why it is important in the story and
what details you included in your model.
