Literature is something wonderful! Short stories are particularly suitable to cover practically any topic in your classroom.

After teaching literature for 24 years and recurrently piecing together various aspects of short stories, it was about time to structure and assemble the mosaic.

In this document, 62 short stories are mentioned / examined / combined with important theoretical aspects (though no complete interpretations are provided, they will appear successively in my materials):

#1: Key features

#2: Structure / Patterns of short stories

#3: Plot / Story(line) 

#4: Characters 

#5: Theme(s) (leitmotif(s)) 

#6:  Suspense

#7:  Symbolism

#8: Moral 

#9: Endings

#10: Point of view

#11: Sources

#12: Annotations

Almost all titles can be accessed on the net for free! Have fun and feel free to give me some feedback if you think I should add something.
