• Analyze the elements of the short story using excerpts and summaries from works by Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, and Katherine Mansfield that show character development, setting, mood, plot, conflict, theme, point of view, and the author's writing style.
• Explain the cultural significance of fables, ballads, romances, myths, legends, folktales, and epics, and discuss their role as precursors to the short story.
• Discover the many benefits of using online video for visual learning. Educational video for teaching the K-12 curriculum provides online learning for children and students of all ages and abilities.

A wonderful option particularly for dyslexia and special needs education.
