The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Analyzing the Setting:
Overview In this experience, students identify the setting of a photo of the New York skyline. Then, they read and respond to a passage from a novel with a distinct setting. Next, they explain how setting influences plot and character. Finally, they apply what they have learned to a story they know and like. Objectives Duration One class period. You may choose to have students read the passage before beginning the experience. Vocabulary Words in “Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc”
The setting of a story is the time and place where it occurs. In this experience, you will find out how the setting can be critical to character and plot development.
Objectives
What is the location shown? What historical period is shown? (You don’t have to give an exact date.) Answer both questions, using complete sentences.
Discuss student responses. Their wording will vary; for example, “New York” or “Statue of Liberty.” The time of the setting is not identified clearly, but it is the 20th or 21st century.
