 * As a group, read your chosen short story and discuss it together. Remember, if you begin a short story and are uncomfortable with the themes, it is okay to change your selection.

 * Be sure to read and answer the questions carefully and to answer in complete sentences with __specific examples__ from the story as support.
 * Finally, act as if you are going to teach this story to your classmates. Develop a 5 question quiz that assesses a reader’s understanding of your story. Be sure to include the correct answers.
