This document outlines an English lesson plan focused on short story analysis. It involves having students work in groups to analyze flashcards depicting characters and events to develop plots. They will then work to create their own short stories, discussing the mood, settings, and characters. As homework, students will be given information on plot, characters, traits, and settings to create an oral presentation for the next class. The lesson aims to develop students' speaking, critical thinking, and grammar skills through interactive analysis and creation of short stories.
