Taking Sides By Gary Soto

Day 1, Chapter 1: Setting Define setting. Why is setting important in this story? Begin to infer how setting can create conflicts.

Quick Write Sometimes people don’t understand each other because their lives are too different. What should people know about where you are from or your life to understand why you do the things that you do?

Vocabulary Setting- Where a story takes place.

While we read…. Write down anything that you think is important about the setting of the first chapter. Think: What is it like where Lincoln lives? What do you think that this setting is like for Lincoln? What do you think that this setting is like for Lincoln?

Lincoln’s Settings….What can you tell by looking at these settings? How do you think that life would be different in these settings? What would it be like to go from one to the other?

Day 2 (Ch. 2): Dialogue Define dialogue. How can dialogue tell us about a character? What can we tell about the characters in Taking Sides because of their dialogue?

Quick Write Tell me about a conversation that you had with someone. If I overheard the conversation what would I think about you?

Vocabulary Dialogue- What one person says to another.

How to write dialogue… “How do you write dialogue?” “Look at the board.” What one person says is in quotations “ “ When another person talks, put their quotation on a new line.

Write a dialogue that tells us about these two characters. If you’re really good, you can tell us something about them without actually saying it… We will write conversations for three different pictures and see if other people in the class can tell in which picture the conversation is happening. Try not to physically describe the characters having the conversation. Don’t say the names of any of the things in the picture!
