About short stories flashcards
GoConqr OriginalShort Stories flashcards
The decks on this page offer short prompts for studying story terms. The first Short Story deck includes exposition, rising action, climax and resolution, alongside conflict, setting and characterization. The Short Story Elements decks also include terms such as theme and mood.
Start with the first Short Story deck if you want to practice the stages of a plot alongside other key terms. Read each prompt and try to explain it before checking the other side. Return to the cards you find difficult and try putting the terms in your own words.
Move beyond the cards
Once you are comfortable with the vocabulary, use a mind map on the Short Stories unit page to see how ideas connect in a story. Switch to a quiz when you want to check your understanding in a different format. Explore the decks and choose the terms you want to practice.

Which flashcard deck is a useful starting point?
