Description
Engage high school English Language Arts students with Katherine Mansfield's Modernist short story "The Garden Party."
Mansfield's short story is a funny, absurd, vibrant read, treating themes such as class division, innocence and experience, and more. In the story, a young girl plans a Garden Party with her upper-middle-class family. But when a poor worker who lives down the lane dies in a tragic accident, some things stay the same, but the young girl is changed forever.
- Note — this resource comes equipped with both a printable and digital version (that works with PDF, Google Workspace, and Easel).

I created this resource with high school students in mind. It is designed for a typical High School English curriculum short story unit. You can use this resource as a stand-alone lesson or pair it with a larger unit on British Literature. It also works well in a Humanities course, a New Zealand authors survey, or a Creative Writing class.
