Objective:  I can list details about setting to determine how the author uses this element of craft to create suspense and mystery.

Bell:  On page 576, write one quote that suggests setting in the left column of a T-Chart and ask an “I wonder…” question in the right.

Objective:

1.  Share Out:  How does the author use setting to create suspense and mystery in “By the Waters of Babylon”?

2.  Group Discussion:  What is the connection between Benet’s use of the first-person point of view in John’s narration and our approach to reading the story by asking questions about the setting?  Does John, the narrator, ask similar questions about his environment to our own?

3.  Think-Pair-Share:  Continue your T-Chart by listing three more quote/questions about setting from pages 577 and 578.
