Willa Cather Short Stories - Day 2

Yesterday you worked with a small group to read and analyze a story by Willa Cather.

For today, your group will present your findings and teach the rest of us about your story.  This will be a little tricky, since we are not all reading the other stories.  So, to help make that happen, please follow these steps (post your work in the document you started yesterday):

  1. Provide a summary of the story. This should include naming central characters / relationships, the setting, the key events, and the issues raised by the the story. This should be 6-8 sentences long
  2. Read us an excerpt. This needs to be a good-sized paragraph (8+ lines) or two of about half that length. Make sure you are selecting key moments that will help us to understand the story.
  3. Read the work you did yesterday, about the setting and the main characters.
