The teacher will then discuss the story for further discussion with the use of guide

These are the elements of a short story entitled “The Necklace”:
Plot:
"The Necklace" is a short story by Guy de Maupassant in which the main character
Madame Mathilde Loisel aspires to be a member of high society however lives a poor
existence. In an effort to please her Mathilde’s husband gets tickets to a social event
and sacrifices buying something he had saved for so that she could buy a dress. After
all of this Mathilde was still displeased because she did not have jewels to wear with the
dress and borrows a necklace from a friend, which she loses over the course of the
night. She replaces the necklace without telling her friend she has lost it, however this
places her in great debt. When she sees her friend many years later she is bitter
because the debt has caused her such hardship. It is at this point that she learns that
the necklace she lost was not made of real jewels but of paste and was not worth the
amount that Mathilde paid for the necklace to replace the one she lost.
Setting: 19th century, France
Characters: Mathilde Loisel, Monsieur Loisel, Madam Forestier, George Ramponneau,
and Madame George Ramponeau
Conflict: Madame Loisel wants to wear an expensive necklace to a party, but after she
loses Madame Frostier’s necklace, she and her husband must work to pay off the coast
of the new one.
Theme: Appearance VS. Reality

Here are the guide questions:

1. How does de Maupassant describe Mathilde Loisel? How does this affect your
opinion of her? Do you know anyone like her? What are they like?
2. What was her motivation in buying a fine dress and borrowing what she thought
was an expensive piece of jewelry?
3. Explain Mathilde Loisel’s attitude toward honesty. What would change about her
situation—indeed, her whole life—if she were more honest?
4. What does the necklace symbolize in the text?
5. What is the moral of the story?

Post-Reading:
The class will be divided into five (5) groups. They will be given the freedom to choose
whoever group mates they want to be with, or what particular group they want to be in.
In this activity, the students should construct or come up with their own story outline
consisting the elements of a story such as the plot, theme, conflict, characters and
setting. It’s up for each group how they’re going to present the output/product. It can be
done through graphic organizer, role playing etc.
The story outline will be graded through the criteria/rubric below:
