Activity 1: Rewriting a Short Story Directions: Visit the Classic
Short Stories site. Choose one of the short stories listed and read it carefully, paying close
attention to the writer's tone and use of detail. Then, write a new ending
to the story you have read. Your ending may be a few paragraphs or a few pages
long, but try to model the original story as closely as possible. Finally,
write a paragraph in which you explain the choices you have made. What did
you change about the original ending? Why?
