Grade 2 · Reading · Lesson 11

Describe Characters and Settings

Every story has two building blocks that bring it to life: the characters — the people or animals the story is about — and the setting — the place and time where the story happens. Great readers pay close attention to both.

What this lesson teaches

1Use details from a story to describe a character — who they are, how they feel, and what they do
2Describe the setting — where and when the story takes place
3Back up every character or setting description with text evidence
