Character and place chart for one short story
You will pick one Urdu short story, read it twice, and build a single page chart that captures who, what, where, when, and why. The chart is not for school marks. It is the kind of one page artefact a serious reader makes for themselves so they actually remember what they read.

Stretch
Make charts for three short stories by the same writer. Compare. Most writers reuse the same who, the same where, the same why with new whats. Spotting the writer's pattern is a senior reader skill.
