Secondary English Plot Theme Short Story Analysis Bundle! - Google Slides

A short story unit centered around coming-of-age themed texts. Each resource is a Google Slide Deck that guides students through an analysis of the plot and theme of the stories. Students annotate the passages from the texts right on the slides using the close reading questions included in the tasks.

The unit culminates with a Socratic Seminar that asks to students to explore and discuss the experiences and realities associated with coming-of-age using the shared readings of the unit.
