Setting

Good Morning!

1.  Independent Reading -- Today we will begin independent reading.  We will read for about ten minutes.

2. Wall Street Journal article.

 

3.  "The Sniper" -- I will collect both papers on the story.  You should have written a summary of the story on the back of the handout you received yesterday.

4.  In the next story we will examine how setting contributes to the theme of a story.  Before we begin with the story "The Interlopers," I would like you to write a description of a setting according to the tone that you want to convey.  I will divide you into two groups. Group 1 will describe a setting that conveys optimism, joy, love, peacefulness, etc.  Group 2 will describe a setting that describes the opposite  -- danger, fear, anxiety, sadness, pessimism, etc.  To provide some structure or framework here, the scene is at the beach.
