Not an odd request at all, but it might help to know if you wanted to
learn about creative writing or did you wish to teach specific short
stories?
This looks like an informative site:
"Short Stories to Teach and Understand"
http://www.blitz21.com/creativeweb/shortstory.html
~~
About.com has a teen writing guide for short stories that should
provide you some guidance:
http://teenwriting.about.com/teens/teenwriting/msubject21.htm
~~
Education Planet has short stories resources:
http://www.educationplanet.com/search/Literature/By_Genre/Short_Stories/
(I see a link for Lesson Plans there)
~~
Kids Love a Mystery
http://www.kidsloveamystery.com/teachers/
"A page with information for Teachers & Parents (Learning with
Mysteries: The fun way to learn in the classroom, with Lesson Plans and
Ideas, Discussion and Examples and tips on Helping Students Write Short
Mystery Stories") and Websites for Kids with mysteries to solve, scary
stories, magic tricks, and contests for kids-- something new every
week. See the Kids Mystery Writing Contest: write your own mystery. "
~~~
This site has a great collection of short stories to bring to your
classroom:
"Classic Short Stories"

Lots of good information here on teaching creative writing:
