Description

Overview:

This collection features five powerful short stories set in the emergency room of a hospital—where emotions run high, and unspoken truths often surface. Each story invites readers into a deeply personal moment between family members, exploring themes of regret, memory, silence, and reconciliation.

These narrative texts are written for high school students (Grades 11–12) who are ready to engage with mature themes in a structured, sensitive, and meaningful way. Each story is followed by reading comprehension tasks, vocabulary activities, and writing prompts that encourage students to think critically and reflect deeply.

What’s Included:

  • 5 original drama-based short stories (450–500 words each)

  • Reading comprehension questions (text-based and inferential)

  • Vocabulary-in-context activity

  • “Connect to Your Life” reflection prompt + student writing space

  • Full-page reflective writing task for each story

  • Answer keys for all questions

  • Teacher guide with CCSS alignment and suggested use

Story Titles:

  1. The Name She Finally Spoke
    A woman injured in an accident calls out for the man she once rejected—only he can comfort her now.

  2. Room 3B at 2:07 AM
    Two sisters wait through the night beside their mother’s hospital bed, wrestling with guilt and promises.

  3. The Man Who Forgot Her
    A man wakes up after a collision with no memory of his wife—or himself. Can love still reach him?

  4. The Apology by the Bedside
    An estranged daughter arrives too late to undo the past—but not too late to say what needed to be said.

  5. The Last Thing Left Unsaid
    After a fight and a crash, a son opens his eyes to find his father standing silently by his side.

Why Teachers Love It:

  • Encourages personal reflection and empathy

  • Promotes thoughtful, standards-aligned writing

  • Ready to print and use—no prep needed

Suggested Use:
