The 11th grade learning experience consists of 7 mostly month-long units aligned to the Common Core State Standards, with available course material for teachers and students easily accessible online. Over the course of the year there is a steady progression in text complexity levels, sophistication of writing tasks, speaking and listening activities, and increased opportunities for independent and collaborative work. Rubrics and student models accompany many writing assignments.Throughout the 11th grade year, in addition to the Common Read texts that the whole class reads together, students each select an Independent Reading book and engage with peers in group Book Talks. Students move from learning the class rituals and routines and genre features of argument writing in Unit 11.1 to learning about narrative and informational genres in Unit 11.2: The American Short Story. Teacher resources provide additional materials to support each unit.

In this unit, students will explore great works of American literature and consider how writers reflect the time period in which they write. They will write two literary analysis papers and also work in groups to research and develop anthologies of excellent American stories.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Students read and analyze stories from several 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century American authors. After researching a time period, they select stories from that period to create an anthology. The readings enhance their understanding of the short story, increase their exposure to well-known American authors, and allow them to examine the influence of social, cultural, and political context.
Students examine elements of short stories and have an opportunity for close reading of several American short stories. During these close readings, they examine the ways that short story writers attempt to explore the greater truths of the American experience through their literature.

GUIDING QUESTIONS

These questions are a guide to stimulate thinking, discussion, and writing on the themes and ideas in the unit. For complete and thoughtful answers and for meaningful discussions, students must use evidence based on careful reading of the texts.

If you were to write a short story about this decade, what issues might you focus on?
What defines a short story? Just length?
To what extent do these stories reflect the era or decade in which they were written?
To what extent are the themes they address universal?

Example customized GenderMag persona: Abi. This customized Abi was used for a GenderMag Walkthrough of the Canvas course management system.

Customizable GenderMag persona: Abi. Abi provides the strongest lens to find inclusiveness issues that disproportionately affect women users. If you choose to use only one persona and your primary motivation is inclusiveness to women, Abi is probably the best first choice. Abi provides the strongest inclusivity lens out of the 3 personas (Abi, Pat, and Tim).

Customizable GenderMag persona: Pat. Pat touches (mostly) middle points in the facet ranges between the Abi and Tim GenderMag personas. If you want a third persona for additional coverage of the facets, Pat is a good third choice after Tim.

Customizable GenderMag persona: Tim. Tim represents the opposite end of the facet value ranges from the Abi GenderMag persona, so Tim helps to complete the "sweep" of considering a wide range of facet values. For full coverage of the spectrum, Tim is a good second choice after Abi.
