    Detailed Lesson Plan: Exploring Short Stories (Grade 8)

    School: NEMCO Grade Level: Grade 8


    Teacher: Donnalyn Balili Subject: English
    Teaching Dates and Week 1-3 Quarter: First
    Time: 3 Sessions (45
    minutes each)

    Learning Objectives:

     Students will be able to identify the key elements of a short story (plot, setting,
    characters, theme).
     Students will be able to analyze the author's craft by examining character development,
    conflict, and point of view.
     Students will be able to write a short story summary focusing on the main events and
    central message.

    Materials:

     Short story excerpts (teacher-selected with varying themes and genres)


     Whiteboard/Projector
     Markers/Pens
     Graphic organizers (plot diagram, character analysis chart)
     Worksheets for short story summaries

    Procedure:

    Session 1: Unpacking the Short Story

    1. Introduction (5 minutes): Begin with a brainstorming activity. Ask students: "What


    makes a good story?" List their responses on the board. Introduce the concept of a short
    story and its characteristics compared to longer narratives.
    2. Elements of a Short Story (15 minutes): Briefly explain the key elements of a short
    story:
    o Plot: Sequence of events in the story (exposition, rising action, climax, falling
    action, resolution)
    o Setting: Time and place where the story unfold
    o Characters: People or creatures in the story
    o Theme: Central message or underlying idea
    3. Interactive Activity (15 minutes): Divide students into small groups. Provide each
    group with a short story excerpt (different for each group). Ask them to identify the
    following elements within the excerpt: plot, setting, characters, and possible themes.
    Have each group present their findings and discuss them as a class.
    4. Wrap-up (10 minutes): Briefly review the elements of a short story. Discuss the
    importance of each element in creating a compelling narrative.

    Session 2: Analyzing the Craft (15 minutes):

    5. Character Development (10 minutes): Introduce the concept of character development.


    Discuss how authors develop characters through their actions, dialogue, and descriptions.
    Show a short clip (1-2 minutes) from a movie with a clear example of character
    development. Discuss how the clip showcases this development.
    6. Conflict and Point of View (15 minutes): Explain the importance of conflict in a story
    and how it drives the plot forward. Discuss different types of conflict (e.g., person vs.
    person, person vs. nature). Introduce the concept of point of view and how it affects the
    reader's understanding of the story.
    7. Analyzing Excerpts (20 minutes): Provide students with new short story excerpts. Ask
    them to analyze the excerpts, focusing on character development, conflict, and point of
    view. Have them fill out a graphic organizer to capture their analysis.
    8. Class Discussion (10 minutes): Facilitate a discussion where students share their
    findings. Encourage them to consider how these elements contribute to the overall
    effectiveness of the story.

    Session 3: Summarizing the Story (15 minutes):

    9. Importance of Summary (5 minutes): Discuss the importance of summarizing a short


    story. Explain that a good summary captures the main events and central message of the
    story in a concise way.
    10. Summary Writing (20 minutes): Provide students with a complete short story (different
    from the excerpts used earlier). Distribute worksheets with guiding questions to help
    them write a summary of the story. Students should focus on identifying the key plot
    points and the main theme.
    11. Peer Review and Sharing (15 minutes): Have students exchange their summaries with a
    partner for peer review. Partners provide feedback on the clarity, accuracy, and
    completeness of the summary. Students can then revise their summaries based on the
    feedback.
    12. Wrap-up and Assessment (5 minutes): Briefly summarize the learning objectives of the
    unit. Collect student summaries for assessment.

    Differentiation:

     Provide visual aids and graphic organizers for students who need additional support.
     Scaffold discussions and writing activities for students who require more guidance.
     Offer challenging activities for advanced students, such as analyzing the author's use of
    literary devices.

    Assessment:

     Participation in class discussions and activities


     Completed graphic organizers and short story analysis
     Short story summary writing assignment

    Extension Activities:

     Students can write their own short stories, incorporating the elements learned in class.
     Have students create presentations analyzing a short story of their choice.
     Organize a class "short story slam" where students share their original short stories.
