Titel 5 LW3: Margaret Atwood, Short Stories

This course introduces students to the short story genre.

We will work with close-reading, analysis and key terminology as we analyse 9 select short stories by Margaret Atwood:

From The Tent (2006):
'It's Not Easy Being Half-Divine'
'Salome Was a Dancer'
Chicken Little Goes Too Far'
'Thylacine Ragout'
'The Tent'

From Good Bones and Simple Murders (1994):
'Men at Sea'
'Simmering'
'Happy Endings'
'Poppies'

This course also focuses on writing, and students will be introduced to the PEETR-model, which we will work with in steps. As such, students will learn to make a solid Point, find good Evidence, write a strong Explanation, analyse a writer's Technique, and discuss how this all Relates to the reader. Through practise-based teaching, students will work with the individual aspects of the model and ultimately write a full 5 paragraph essay, with 3 PEETR paragraphs an introduction and a conclusion. This will be an analysis of Atwood's short story, 'The Tent'.
Through this practise-based teaching format, students will also learn to focus and phrase their analyses into strong points and angles.

Ultimately, this will enable students to analyse these short stories and discuss them in a focused and concise manner for their IOA.
