About This Lesson
This module draws from a National Endowment for the Humanities unit plan for Kate Chopin's The Awakening and blends this focus with additional study of three of Chopin's short stories. Through the study of one author, students will explore the ways in which authors use characters to shape themes for larger social and political commentary. Students will also relate other literary elements and movements to Chopin's work including setting, dialect, literary realism,and literary criticism.
