Week 2: The Setting
Friday: Blooket: play.blooket.com/play?hwId=674945d8f6cd364e5063b7a3
Really good job creating your Story Worlds, but many of you didn't color your picture, and some of you only added characters, so I gave everyone some time to work on their drawings a bit more. Remember, characters can be a part of the setting, but it would be wrong to show only characters for a setting. Setting should include:

Remember, characters can be a part of the setting, but it would be wrong to show only characters for a setting. Setting should include:

Tuesday and Wednesday: Homework: GTE p.3-6
In today's lesson we continued talking about setting and worked on building our own "Story World". GTE p.4 introduces Story World - where you learn that setting is not only about time and place, but also weather, characters, and other things we notice and see! For GTE p.5, you can just jot down your ideas about your Story World, and then you should draw and color your Story World on p.6.

In today's lesson, I introduced SETTING to the class.
The setting of a story is like the background where everything happens. It tells you:
- Where the story takes place. Is it in a city, a forest, or a magical kingdom?
- When it happens. Is it today, a long time ago, or in the future?
- What things are like around the characters. Is it sunny and warm, or is it rainy and cold?

Tuesday and Wednesday:
Today we did a follow-up exercise for our GTE assessment. This exercise helped us review some of the more challenging parts of the first term GTE assessment. Remember, Diamante poems have 7 lines. The first and last lines are opposite words. The second and sixth lines are adjectives. The third and fifth lines are verbs, and the fourth line is nouns (two for the first word and two for the second word).
