The setting of a story is the location and time, or the where and when. Settings often play a crucial role especially in the case of historical fiction or when there are multiple places as is the case in the book Other Words for Home. In this activity, students will create a setting chart to describe and illustrate the where and when for the novel. The story begins on a beautiful coastal town in Syria but the Civil War forces the main character, Jude, to flee to the United States where she lives with her uncle in Ohio.
