Picture This!


Everyone has now had a chance to get into their books over the weekend. Each person's book is set in a distinct time period. That means People, Places, and Things will look very different from today.


Assignment due Monday, April 27th to be posted on the blog


1. Describe the setting of your book (time period, place, etc.)


2. Does your character live in a home, what is it like? Or are they moving around, what is that like?


3. Locate 3 pictures from the internet that reflect your book the best. (Look at the above example, this woman was photographed during the Great Depression). Be sure to tell why these pictures reflect your time period.
