Recap last lesson

Most of you did very well on the themes

- the cat and mouse was about not trusting someone a second time

- the crow and pitcher was about being inventive (creative) in a time of need

- the bald man was difficult - the theme here is that insects do what they do and getting angry does not change anything, your anger is pointless.

- bears was about true friendship - troubles shows you who your real friends are.

Well DONE!

Lesson Setting

- learn about setting

What does setting mean?

1. the storyline
2. the place and time of a story
3. the theme
4. the genre

Read this:

My grandma’s chocolate chip cookies

never got old, never got stale. Her house

smelled of the warm, sweet goodness of

her oven and of the cookies that came

from it. Now, looking back, I remember

those cookies and her hands with warmth

and love. Tomorrow, I’m making

chocolate chip cookies for my own three

grandkids. 

The time of this setting is

1. all in the past
2. all in the future
3. in the past and present
4. only in the present

The location of this setting is

1. in the kitchen
2. in the garden
3. in the oven
4. all in the mind

The reader can infer that (draw a conclusion)

1. the speaker misses her grandkids
2. the speaker can’t remember her grandma
3. the speaker holds fond memories of her grandma
4. the speaker might forget to make the cookies

Read this:

Rosa dodged the large horseless
carriage as it careened around the  corner. She had never seen a carriage 

without a horse! And where did all the
smoke come from? She couldn’t ask  anyone what they were because she  didn’t know the strange language everyone spoke. How would she ever 

make it to the correct building in this
strange, fast-moving city? 

Rosa’s reference to the
“horseless carriage” lets us
know that she probably

1. hasn’t heard of a car before
2. has lots of horseless carriages
3. used to live somewhere with no horses
4. loves the city life

The time period of this
passage is probably

1. pretty recent, like maybe in the last couple of years
2. over 100 years ago, before cars were really popular
3. at least a thousand years ago, maybe more
4. in the future because of the smoke

The reader can infer that
Rosa (draw the conclusion)

1. is in a foreign land and doesn’t know what to do
2. is lost and will probably just go back home
3. travels a lot and loves excitement
4. is going to buy a horse so she can travel better
