The shortage of short story text teaching materials can be overcome by the preparation of teaching materials that focus on character education.Preparation of short story text teaching materials begins with a study of genetic structure and character education in the Kompas 2015 short stories. A collection of selected short stories in Kompas 2015 is analyzed based on genetic structure and character education used to compile short story text teaching materials.The authors hope that this paper can be a means and contribution to the field of short literature and in the field of literature in general. Hopefully useful for literary learners, so that literary science, especially short stories, can develop toward improvement.Majalengka, September 2018
