DIGITAL VALENTINE'S DAY SHORT STORY - THE CHASER BY JOHN COLLIER

The short story The Chaser by John Collier is a perfect digital Valentine's Day short story, but it could be used at any time in the year! The story is about a young man named Alan who is desperate to make a woman named Diana fall in love with him. So desperate, in fact, that he is willing to use a love potion!

Not only is this a story students love, it is also useful in teaching inferential thinking, as the reader must make inferences to understand the plot.

This is a digital resource and students complete all the work on the computer. This works well with distance learning, 1:1 classrooms, remote teaching, Google Classroom, or online education.

INCLUDED IN YOUR PURCHASE:

 • A 16 slide Google Slides presentation that guides the lesson with discussion points and question/discussion prompts

 • A digital inference activity (with answer key) that gets students thinking about the process of using background knowledge to make inferences.  Sample answer key provided.

 • Abby and Andrew's Advice Column digital assignment which allows the student to give advice to the main character from a male and female perspective

This has always been a favorite story for my students!
