Hello again! We’re now in the midst of our annual CATS testing and it’s likely that you may need to do some of your posting from home since we won’t be having Reading class every day like we usually do.

I’m going to keep the intro short and sweet this week so that you can get to work! Choose one of the books that you have been reading as a part of this assignment to answer your questions.

Your comment this week needs to address the following:

• What is the setting of the book? Please remember to include both WHERE and WHEN the story takes place. And the “when” needs to address the time period in which the story happens – not something like “morning” or “evening”.

• Describe how the setting is important to the story. ”Where” or “when” a series of events occurs has an impact on what kind of things can or do happen. You can’t fly with a jet pack (yet), but people in Colonial America didn’t exactly have cars. See what I mean? So, I want you to describe a reason that the setting of YOUR book affects THAT story.

After you’ve posted your own comment, choose a classmate and ask them a question about what they wrote. Don’t forget to include the title of your book in your answer!
