Extra Credit for Grade Eight:

I would like to expand this page to include several short stories that are considered to be classics by adults AND students.  I would like your opinion as to which stories should be included.  You may receive extra credit if you complete the following three steps with a high degree of quality and you cite any online sources.

1.  Go to http://www.classicshorts.com/bib.html#botd and read some short stories.  Try at least three.  This will take you some time.

2.  Pick your favorite and write a one paragraph summary and or theme explanation that does not reveal the ending.

3.  In another paragraph please explain why this story should be included in the list of all-time favorites that today's student will enjoy.  If you use another website you must cite your source(s) or you will be PLAGIARIZING, and that is bad; it is very bad.
