50 Great Short Stories, edited by Milton Crane, is one of the most widely used short story anthologies in U.S. high schools. Now this reproducible book gives you exercises and tests for presenting a mini-unit on each of the 50 selections. The activities are designed to build vocabulary skills, improve reading comprehension, and encourage analytical thinking and expression. For each story, you get four days of teaching material that integrates literature, language skills, and writing: - an introduction or prereading activity
- selected vocabulary for students to define
- a vocabulary quiz
- a comprehension quiz
- a fully developed writing activity linking the reading experience to present-day issues
This book also gives you answers to all the vocabulary and comprehension quizzes, suggested approaches to the stories, and an index of social themes. Use these skill-building activities, along with multicultural and women's voices added from other collections, to get your students on the 'Best Read' list. This kit includes the book 50 Great Short Stories.
