Re: Short Stories for Middle Schools

[Kathleen Fencil <tkfencil@MCN.NET>]

When I worked at a 6-8 Middle School, we used with students who were
exploring the concept of short story various collections which they dibbled
and dabbled in.  But by far the teachers and my favorites were those
collections edited by Donald R. Gallo and the stories temselves written by
Young Adult Authors.  Each story collection is often loosely based around a
theme and there is author information after each story.

The collections were used at both the high school level and our middle
school level.  Again at our middle level they were part of a cart of short
story collections that students just browsed and read from during class
time.
