Directions: Independently-or with one (1) partner-you are to update and adapt Guy De
Maupassant's short story. "The Necklace" was published in 1884, but the story focuses on issues of
social status, material wealth, sexism, and deception that are still relevant. For the assignment, I
want you to create an outline of the story. (You do not have to write a 9-page story.) Then, I want you
to write the climactic scene of your adaption. (This should be 1-2 pages.) You must then complete the
one reflection question at the end.
