What is a Short Story? A short story is: A work of fiction that is short and can usually be read in 1 sitting. There are 8 elements to a short story.

Elements of a Short Story: 1. Plot 2. Theme 3. Characters 4. Conflict 5. Setting 6. Mood 7. Tone 8. Point of View

1. Plot: The PLOT is: the series of events, or what is going on in the story.

2. Theme The theme is: Central idea or message of a story; what the story is mostly about. Also called the “Big Idea!” Think about a birthday party you may have attended or one that was for you. Did the plates, napkins, cake and balloons all have the same picture on them? If so, that would be the theme of the party. What are the themes pictured?

3. Characters Characters in a short story are: The people, animals and/or unknown beings in the story.

4. Conflict Conflict is: The problem in a story.

5. Setting The setting of a short story is: The time and location in which the story takes place. This affects the mood of the story.

6. Mood Has anyone ever said to you, “You’re in a bad mood,” or “You’re in a good mood!” There is a reason why you are in the mood you are in!!! Mood is: The way a story makes you feel during and after you read it.

7. Tone Has anyone ever raised their voice at you? Has anyone ever said to you, “Don’t use that tone with me young lady/man?” Tone is: The writer’s attitude towards the subject they are writing about.

8. Point of View When you read a story, do you always know the narrator? Point of View is: Who is “telling” the story (narrator). Either 1st or 3rd person.
