The 19th century classic short story ‘The Necklace’ by Guy De Maupassant is a great piece of French literature. However, the original version is very complex and I have produced and modified version that is ideally suited to teach students. Once understood, ‘The Necklace’ is probably one of the best short stories to read and study. ‘The Necklace’ by Guy De Maupassant: An abridged version is a part of my Back To Basics series which is aimed to make complex texts accessible to students. Once students fully understand the text, they can, therefore, fully appreciate it’s literary significance. This makes learning meaningful and rewarding. ‘The Necklace’ has been effectively and meticulously abridged. The original story can be now genuinely understood and appreciated by students. The exercises are engaging and answers are also provided. Included are extracts from the original text and this allows the students to gain an insight into Guy De Maupassant’s style and language. This resource is a mini unit of work.
