Lesson 5: Context
What is context?

Context refers to the background or details surrounding an event that occurs in literature. Details about the setting, a character's past, or even the time period of the story can help to set the context. Understanding the context can help a reader to better understand and interpret the events of the plot.


For this task we will be focussing on "the setting" (the physical context)

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Setting
The setting of the story is the time and place that it occurs. Every story has a setting. The setting helps to create the mood of the story. It influences how readers feel about the text. On the next slide is an example of what I mean.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

How does setting affect mood?
Imagine a story about a girl and a boy playing hide-and-seek. Pretend that the conflict in this story is that the girl cannot find the boy no matter how hard she looks. The setting of this story will have a huge impact on the mood, or how readers feel while reading the text. If this story took place in a candy shop during the day, it might have a happy or playful mood. But if this story took place at a cemetery during the night, the mood would be down right frightening.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Being able to identify when and where the story is taking place is a basic reading comprehension skill.

Teacher shows PowerPoint about Setting.
