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. CHOOSE a character from your group book that doesn't have his or her own setting, or who's setting is not well described.
  2. DISCUSS that character and his/her setting with your group.
  3. WRITE a descriptive paragraph about the setting for that character. (In English Journal)
  4. 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 this Friday. 
  • You should be about 40% 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.)
  • Label it period, color, novel title, ex 4 Red Lord of the Flies. 
  • 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.
