 Introduce your students to some of the world's most popular short stories in convenient, comprehensive, 1-2 week lessons. Our Essential Short Stories Teaching Units are modeled after our best-selling Teaching Units, and emphasize important points such as character, literary elements, style, vocabulary, and historical significance, rather than focusing on plot alone.
Featured titles include "A Pair of Silk Stockings", "An Occurance at Owl Bridge Creek", "The Lottery", "The Yellow Wallpaper", "Young Goodman Brown", and more.
Each unit includes:- A plot summary
- Brief biographical information on the author
- Clearly defined student objectives for each short story
- A comprehensive multiple choice test
- Vocabulary with definitions
- Engaging student activities related to each selection
- Discussion questions and potential student answers on literary elements, character, style, and the historical significance and influence of each work

Prestwick House Employee Cover Models
 At Prestwick House, it has become a fun, informal tradition to use our employees as models for our Literary Touchstone Classic Series book covers.
Our talented art department including Art Director, Larry Knox, and Senior Designer, Jen Mendoza, create some truly memorable characters ranging from gossamer-winged faeries for A Midsummer Night's Dream, to historical figures for The Iliad, and spooky, haunted door knockers for A Christmas Carol.
Starting with A Midsummer Night's Dream, we will be introducing you to a new piece of cover art and a new Prestwick House Employee Model each month. January's featured employee is customer service specialist Kathy Horsley, and you can read more in the article section of our website.
