Setting

Setting The monkeys were throwing things at Sam again. They usually missed, so he wasn’t very worried, but it was annoying. Occasionally he threw a banana peel back at them, but he usually missed, too. He was starting to get tired of sweeping the dead bugs out of his tropical tree house. He wondered if following his dream of living here had been a big mistake. He really missed the comforts of home. I better quit thinking and work, he thought. The one thing he knew for sure was that he wanted to finish sweeping and get the mosquito net up before nightfall. 1. The setting of this passage is: A. a tropical beach B. a rain forest C. a tree house in Malaysia D. a banana plantation

Setting The setting of a story is where and when the story takes place. The time, place, and weather are all part of the setting. The setting can contribute to the plot or it may play only a minor role in the story. Sensory details such as the sounds, sights, and smells of a place and time can all be part of the setting. 1. Where does the story take place? 2. When does the story take place? 3. Do any details about time, place, or weather affect the plot? 4. Do any sensory details of setting affect the mood of the story? To identify the setting and how it works within a story, ask these questions:

Read the story and answer the questions that follow. Setting Read the story and answer the questions that follow. As Jannie walked up the creaking stairs onto the front porch of the old house, she turned to make sure Eva was with her. Jannie was wishing she had never agreed to this harebrained scheme. In the dim light of dusk, the thick vines growing all over the porch looked like they could be hundreds of snakes twined together. Jannie forced herself not to look. Eva pushed ahead of her and reached for the front door. They each put a hand on the doorknob and tried to turn it, but it was stuck. They tried again, and this time the knob turned. They pushed against the heavy door, and it swung wide open with an eerie moan. Startled, the girls jumped back. Then they gingerly stepped through the door into the house. Inside, it was pitch black. Suddenly, something small flew past them, right by their heads. “That’s it!” cried Jannie, as she ran out of the house, down the stairs and down the street. Eva ran right after her. “I’m not going through with this,” yelled Jannie. “This was a crazy idea from the start. We should never have taken this dare."

Setting Use the story on the previous slide to answer these questions. Where does the story take place? When does the story take place? Do any details about time, place, or weather affect the plot? Do any sensory details of setting affect the mood of the story?

Setting Use the story on the previous slide to answer these questions. Where does the story take place? When does the story take place? Do any details about time, place, or weather affect the plot? Do any sensory details of setting affect the mood of the story? The time of day (dusk) and the place (a scary, old house) affect the plot. The setting is what makes Jannie change her mind about taking the dare. The creaking stairs, the dim light of dusk, the vines that look like snakes, the door swinging wide open, the eerie moan sound the door makes, the darkness inside, and something flying by the girls’ heads all contribute to the scary mood of the story. at dusk a scary, old house

Guided Practice with Setting Read the story and answer the questions that follow. The sky was a bright blue, almost turquoise. From where Louisa was sitting, she could see little, puffy white clouds floating by. It was almost time to go, and today seemed like a perfect day for their first day sailing on their own. She and her father had been taking lessons ever since the family had moved to the beach house four months ago. They had packed a picnic basket with water, juice, and lunch because they planned to be out all day. At 10 A.M., they set off for the island that they could see from their house. According to what they had been told, there was nothing much on the island, but it was a place to go in their sailboat. They planned to sail out there, drop anchor, and go ashore with their picnic lunch. The breeze was just right for sailing, and they made great time going out to the island. They dropped anchor in a cove next to a beautiful, white sandy beach and waded through the water to the shore with their picnic basket. (continued on next slide)
