After you have finished your quiz, copy the vocabulary below. Then you may use the rest of the period to work on your short story.
SHORT STORY VOCAB:
- Atmosphere - tells us the way a story makes the reader feel
- Tone - tells us the attitude the narrator has toward his subject and us.
- Theme - a central idea or statement that unifies and controls an entire literary work. For our purposes, a theme should be a lesson or insight.
- Motif - a recurring element, such as an image, reference, or even phrase which reveals the theme of the story.
- Foreshadow - a hint within the text about what will happen later.
- Flashback - a method of narration in which present action is temporarily interrupted so that the reader can witness past events - usually in the form of a character's memories, dreams, narration, or even authorial commentary.
- Practice: What motifs, theme, and foreshadowing did we see in the stories we read?
- Would you like to review the rubric?
