This project was developed by John Thurlow and Karen Briggs for a 5th grade class. Students read on of these three classic novels, then researchd the setting elements of the story and prepared a PowerPoint presentation. The presentations included a summary of the novel's plot, a vivid description of the story's setting, images to represent the setting, and a statement on how the setting of the story impacted the plot, character development, and theme.
