SETTING: 9/11 Events

Reflect on what we have been learning about regarding the impact of setting.


1) What was the actual setting of the 9/11 tragedy?  (location AND time)

2) How would things be different if the location were different?


3) How would things be different if the time were different? (Think about the time of day)

    Not only was the Twin Towers struck but so was the Pentagon. This occurred in New York.

    If the Twin Towers were somewhere else, it might still be a big town so not much could change. If this would have happened in a smaller town, there would not have been as many deaths due to not having as high of a population.

    If this would have happened at night there might have been more deaths because New York is busier at night than during the day. It is called the city that never sleeps for a reason. There wouldn't have been as many resources to respond for help because they wouldn't have been at work.

Avoiding Plagiarism by SUMMARIZING

1)  List as many steps to avoid plagiarism by summarizing as you can remember. 2)  Summarize the following paragraph: I n the movies, quicksand looks pretty scary, but in real-life it is rarely more than a few feet deep.  If you are ever caught in a pool of quicksand, don’t panic and kick around.  The best thing you can do is to lay back with your arms spread.  Then you will float on top of the sand instead of being sucked down. by Sandy Sanderson; New York Times

Hometown Perspective

What is your perspective of where you live?  What do you like about it?  What don't you like about it?  Use details to help me understand the tone you are setting?  (Don't forget to tell me where you live.) What colors could help represent the tone you are trying to set and the mood you are trying to create? What kind of space--empty or full--might represent where you live? What song matches the tone and mood you are trying to set?
