We will start by completing Day 1 of the Inference Warm-Ups.
We've been talking about how we can use inference to understand characters. Now we will look at ways in which setting can describe character.
A descriptive setting can give the reader a lot of information about a character. We will analyze a setting description together, you will look at your own book for samples of setting and what they reveal about character. Finally, you will write your own setting that will reveal something about a character.
For now you will need to have two tabs open.
1. This blog
2. Your Writing Journal

Miss Havisham is an incredibly rich and ancient (old) woman who was left at the altar on her wedding day many many years ago. She is still bitter, angry, and unable to let go of the memories from that terrible day.
In your writing journal, create a table that looks like this:
Now read, highlight, and comment on the passage from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens found in Google Classroom, that describes Ms. Havisham's home.
