Brit Lit:

Short Story


On May 10th, your final copy of your short story is due. To assist me in grading you based on the given requirements, I am also requiring you to color code you use of the following:


Dialogue: You must tell your story using quotations and conversation between your characters.

Tone: Please highlight a sentence that defines the tone of your story. (see The Lagoon.)

Symbolism: Highlight an object that you are using as a symbol in your story. (see Araby.)

Stream of Conscious: Highlight a section that reveals stream of conscious writing a part of your story. This is typically achieved in the narration. (See Virginia Woolf.)

One object used from the class list.

One character needs to have an epiphany.


For each term, please highlight the word or sentence that is a corresponding example. Then on the last page, please list what each color represents.

Please staple together: Final color coded copy on top, 1st draft, outline.

You also must pass in a clean “extra” copy. This will be included in a bound collection of all of your stories.
