Description
In this EDSITEment lesson, students learn the key characteristics that comprise American literary naturalism as they explore the work of Stephen Crane and Jack London, who wrote about city life, social class, industry, and in two memorable short stories, the callous indifference of nature. Students explore Crane's "The Open Boat" and London's "To Build a Fire." Two additional pieces of literature appropriate for use with this lesson are suggested.
