English 9 Short Story Project 
English 9 Narrative Re-write
You will be retelling one of the stories we read in our short story unit. Your retelling should demonstrate your understanding of the parts of the plot of the story as well as the story's theme, setting, and characters. You may use one of the methods I will present on Edmodo or another method as approved by me. If identifying literary elements interferes with the flow of the story or is too distracting, you may identify them separately (in a Word document or something like that).
