Remind students that setting is the time and place in which a story takes place. Ask them how an author reveals the setting of a story, or what kinds of details tell the reader about setting. Suggest that as they read Chapter 7, they look for details that reveal setting.
During community share, have students share any drawings of Gilleleje that they created. Ask these students to point out details in the text that made them picture the setting in a particular way. On the chalkboard, you might create a chart or list of words and phrases that the students think create vivid pictures in their minds. Remind them that words that appeal to the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are called sensory details. Have them review Chapters 6-7 to find details that appeal to each sense.
