Short Story Unit Test Three
Thursday 12 October 2017 for Periods 5 & 6 and Friday 13 October 2017 for Periods 1, 2, & 7

Part One: Literary Terms Applied
Use your story analysis sheet and the Quizlet set for literary terms to study for this portion of the test. Questions will be multiple choice in this section.

Part Two: Literary Terms Definitions
Use the Quizlet set "Short Story Literary Terms" to study for this portion.  Thirteen of the terms will be tested in this section.

Part Three: More Literary Definitions
Use the Quizlet set "Short Story Literary Terms" to study for this portion.  Another thirteen of the terms from the "Short Story Literary Terms" will be tested in this section.

Part Four: Dynamic Character
Describe a dynamic character from one of the eight short stories analyzed in this course.  Include

the name of the short story,

the name of the character,

a clear statement identifying that character as dynamic,

the name of the character trait the character exhibited at the beginning of the story,

the name of the corresponding character trait the character exhibited at the end of the story,

and several sentences explaining the cause for the character's change in trait. 

Use the story analysis sheets to help you prepare your response as well as referring back to the text of the specific story you have selected.  Your looking for a character who we identified as having a dynamic change. 

The example I used in class was a character who had gone from selfish to generous.  These are not the specific dynamic traits of any of the characters in the stories we have analyzed, but rather an example of the type of pair of character traits you should find in the story analysis sheets.


Part Five: Theme
Students will be given moral and theme sentences.  They will need to match each sentence with its corresponding story.  They will also need to identify whether each sentence is a theme or a moral.

Use the "Short Story Themes and Morals" set on Quizlet to prepare for this section.
