Americanah: Complete Unit Bundle [Distance Learning]

This unit bundle will take you completely from the beginning to the end of of the novel.

AP Lit Prose Essay Prompt on The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin
This is an AP Lit prose essay prompt on "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. This is a great prompt because it is asking what is only implied, which students have difficultly identifying in a short story like "The Story of an Hour" since nothing is directly stated in the story. The students have a hard time identifying what is implied in the story, which I find is a great teaching opportunity.I have included my annotations of the story as well as an outline.
