Guide a class discussion about the topic of the elements of a short story.
Setting - The setting of a short story is often simplified (one time and
place), and one or two main characters may be intended without full
backstories.
Plot - Short stories typically focus on a single plot instead of multiple
subplots, as you might see in novels. some stories follow a traditional
narrative are with, exposition(description) at the beginning, rising
action, a climax, and a resolution at the end.
Center theme to moral - It is the unifying element of a story. A theme is
not a summary of characters or events. Rather, it is the controlling idea
or central insight of the story.
Genre - The short story genre is well suited to experimentation in prose
writing style and form, but most short story authors still work to create a
distinct mood using classing literary devices (point of view, imagery,
foreshadowing, metaphor, diction/word choice, tone, and sentence
structure.
Conflict - Conflict in a story is a struggle between opposing forces.
Characters must act to confront those forces and that is where conflict
is born.
