Setting, Character, Tests, Mood

Goal: Looking closely at how setting tells us about character in our novels.

Agenda: 
Read
Creating a setting
Anticipating test questions

Create a Setting:
  1. OPEN your English Journal.
  2. CHOOSE a character from your group book that doesn't have his or her own setting, or who's setting is not well described.
  3. DISCUSS that character and his/her setting with your group.
  4. WRITE a descriptive paragraph about the setting for that character. (In English Journal)
  5. EXPLAIN (in a second paragraph) what you are trying to show about the character with the setting you created.

Test Preparation:
  • You have another quiz about your book next week. 
  • You should be about 50% done with your book by then. 
  • One way to prepare for a test is to anticipate what questions you might see on the test. 
  • Get out a piece of paper. (Just one for your group.)
  • Be sure to include your book title, and the names of people in your group. 
  • Write 5-10 questions you think we might ask you about your book. 
  • Include multiple choice questions and short answer questions. 
  • Remember, think like a teacher. What would we ask you? 
  • Consider that this week we worked on character, setting, and mood. 
Reminders:
Be sure your English Journal is caught up.
Keep up with the reading in your group novel. I hear you have a test next week.
