Okay, thank you for your excellent

Now, this time, to be able to

understand the story deeply we
will discuss a new topic today.

But before that, I want you to

guess this picture.

Ma’am, I think those pictures stand for,

ELEMENTS OF A SHORT STORY.

Who can guess, what are those

pictures about?

Very good!
Yes ma’am!
So, today we will discuss about the
5 important elements of a short
story.

Are you ready to listen?

F. Abstraction
 - A short story is a short work of fiction. Fiction, as you know, is prose writing about imagined events
and characters.
- Writers like Anton Chekhov, O. Henry, Alice Munro, and Tobias Wolff are all big names in the short
story genre. How do these writers craft such remarkable stories? They are the true masters at
combining the five elements of a short story: plot, character, setting, conflict, and theme.
Let’s take a closer look at these elements and figure out how you should use them in a short story.
 Do you have any questions class
before we proceed? None so far ma’am.
G. Application
“Why is it
important
for us to
study and
learn
about the
different
elements of
a short
story?
So now, I will group the class into 5.

Each group will be given a task to

identify the elements of a short story
that we read earlier entitled, Makato
and the Cowrie Shells.

The selection of assigned activity will

be done through Dual Spinner.

Yes, ma’am.

Students will present their outputs.

You have 10 minutes to do the task

and after that you will choose 1
representative from your group to
present your output here in front.

Each group will be graded according

to:

Criteria Points
Clarity of 40
description
Relevance of 30
 details
Structure 20
