Language 7/8A Short Story Assignment

Dear 7/8A Language,

I really need you to find a great Canadian short story. What is a short story? Well have a look at Wikipedia's definition of a Short Story.

The search is easy if you know where to look. THE LIBRARY!!!! Please go to the library. If you want to find a polar bear, you go to the North Pole. Don't look in Fergus. You want a great CANADIAN short story - go to the library! They have hundreds of them!

Make sure your short story is complete. Often, part of a short story will be online, but not the entire story. Make sure you have the entire story.

Success Criteria for choosing a Short Story:

  • It's classified as a short story (read the back of the book)
  • It's Canadian (as in, it is written by a Canadian Author)
  • It is interesting in Language. This is a difficult one to classify, but make sure it has some 'depth'; when you read it you like the words and it makes you think about things in your life.
  • You bring it to school on your assigned day: Group 1 on Monday, Group 2 on Tuesday and Group 3 on Wednesday.
Good luck!
