Course Details

This course examines selected short stories spanning a range of authors—from Chekov, Maupassant, and Joyce, through Woolf, Hemingway, and Updike, to Le Guin, Cisneros and O’Brien—in the context of how teachers might most effectively teach the works to middle- and high-school students.
