Short Story Opinion Blog

Similar to a Movie Review, your task is to answer the question: What is the best short story and why? without using a personal pronoun, such as "I" and "We".

Directions:
  1. Focus on the elements that makes your story superior to all others. Therefore, your writing should define the elements and focus on the author's ability to use them. Use at least two substantial reasons for your conclusion of why. Evidence is key.
  2. Respond to someone opinion. In at least two-three sentences, offer feedback to one of your classmates about their perspective. Make sure you are specific in your response to alert the audience to whom your are responding to. Also, remember that all comments should be in the spirit of education. Be nice.
  3. Bring both responses to class to debate your opinion.
