Reading & preparing during lessons:

      - Step 1: listen to  an explanation: setting

      - Step 2: read your previous notes 

      - Step 3: read your book

      - Step 4: take notes

      - Step 5: talk about your book with your group in English

      - Step 6: every time, one group member takes notes of the group  

                         conversation and shares them with the rest (shared document?)

Step 1: setting

Take notes!

What is a setting?

1) Time (year, date, day of the week, season, 

time of day, etc.)

2) Place (earth, space, outside, inside, type 

of building, etc.)

3) Atmosphere (tense, moody, sombre, 

happy, relaxed, etc.)

With your group, describe
the setting (elements 1, 2, 3)
in this picture

Topics you will talk about later:

1. The setting in your book (maybe there's more than one)

2. An example of the setting being described in your book

3. How does the setting influence the story? 

4. Setting: differences / similarities between your books

Read your book in silence

Step 2: read through your previous notes

Step 3: read your book

Step 4: take notes about what you have read

                (I will give you a sign)

Use your time well!

Afterwards, you will talk about setting

Step 4: write your own notes, in silence

1.     How much did you read? How far did you get? (page no.)
2.      In short, describe what happened in the part you have just read
3.     Make a note of any important event(s)
4.     Write a few keywords about the setting and how it influences the story

Speaking, with your group (6 mins)

2. Find an example in your book and read it to them

3. Explain: how does the setting influence the story? 

4. When you have told each other about your settings, make a list of the differences / similarities (take notes)
