Story Elements Sub Plan for Grades 7-8 (No Prep): Setting Shapes the Story

A painter arrives at an old barn with no electricity, and the barn changes everything she does. In "Daylight Only," students find four details of the setting (with paragraph numbers) and write what each one causes the main character to do or what happens because of it. Then they choose a different place for the story and explain two ways it would change there and one thing that might stay the same.
