Pulitzer Prize-winning author Eudora Welty was known for her elegiac, character-driven novels and short stories about the South. Over her decades-long career, she published nearly two dozen works of fiction. This enriching site from the National Endowment for the Humanities offers an unusual inroad to Welty's classic short story, "A Worn Path." Educators can access guiding questions, learning objectives, background, preparation instructions, lesson activities, and assessment, all on the site, and all for free. As the site states, graphic representations may encourage students to "learn to appreciate elements of characterization, setting, and plot in a manner that engages them actively in the production of meaning."
