Once you've identified the story's setting, you can identify the mood by asking:

associate these details with?

For example:

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns, there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than
two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner. 
Highlight or underline the details that identify the setting. 
  • How does the author describe the day? 
  • What other details can you find? 
  • What mood is the author trying to create? 

Slide 8 - Tekstslide
