Project:#13 Short Story Project
Part One
Classic Short Stories When you read a short story, or any piece of fiction for that matter, you must keep a record of information which is distributed throughout the piece. I have devised a "tool" for you to use which keeps track of this data. I call it a Fact Sheet. You should copy the information from the Fact Sheet onto a piece of paper so you can keep track of the vital data of the story you read.Here is a collection of Classic Short Stories. Here is the source.
