The Machine Stops' Short Story Bundle.Reading age 16+ - adult. A short story by E.M. Forster that predicted a world of isolation, relying on technology.

An amazing short story written about a dystopian/utopian future where everyone is isolated (ahem) in cell-like structures, and rely on a machine (ahem, ahem). As the title suggest, the machine then stops.Included; Organise the Plot Post-Reading Act

The Painted Door (Sinclair Ross) Story / Film - Reading Questions + Answer Key
"The Painted Door" by Sinclair Ross is among one of my favorite short stories to read with students. While it is a lengthy piece, it needs to be! The writer builds impact with setting (a cold, winter landscape) and interior thoughts (loneliness and isolation) to reveal a shocking ending. Students are always dismayed by the final reveal. There is a wonderful National Film Board of Canada (NFB) film version of the story. I like showing it to students as it highlights the harshness of a Prairie Win
