Analyzing Character Development Based on Historical Context
In this lesson, students will read three short stories about women, written in different historical periods. Students will read each story and discuss the development of female characters in a particular setting, the role of women, gender differences, and society's expectations. Then students will compare all women characters in the three stories and will bring them to life by having the characters meet and discuss similarities and differences in their lives. (from site)
This is an excellent strategy to use with any selection of texts; however, the actual unit plan does include all necessary handouts for three specific short story texts.
