Kate Chopin's short story, "The Story of an Hour" and John H. Young's "Our Deportment, or the Manners, Conduct, and Dress of Refined Society" offer high school juniors an opportunity to compare the role of women in the 19th century with the roles of women today. Learners also use a graphic organizer to chart the structure of Chopin's story, then craft a tweet that details what they believe is the theme of "The Story of an Hour."
