Today in my reading class, we had a special guest reader to read chapter 2 of our Global Read-Aloud book, Fish, to us. At the conclusion of the chapter we discussed 3 different levels of setting in the book: micro-setting, meso-setting, and macro-setting. We discussed how people and animals are part of setting, as well as government and geography, and even situations occurring in countries such as drought, famine and war. We realized that setting has a humongous impact on Tiger’s life and has everything to do with how the story will end up going. Attached is an image made by groups of students in class as they identified the elements of each level of setting. We would love your comments!
