Assignments for Week 1/Enjoying Short Fiction

.Watch YouTube lecture “Analysis of a Short Story.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uR3zW_6vx0

This is about 11 minutes long. You may want to take notes. This lecture will give you a framework for reading and responding to the stories you will read.

.Literary Elements.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy5LU_3gUs4

Very simple discussion of how to identify elements in a story. You can make up your own “work sheet” based on this and use it to track the story you are reading.

.Assignment for WEEK 2 is to read stories and prepare to discuss their elements in our meeting. For best practice, write out your analysis and email to me and to others in the class.
