The setting of a story is the location and time, or the where and when. Settings often play a crucial role almost as if they are another character in the book, as is the case in the book Al Capone Does My Shirts where the island of Alcatraz and the time period of the Great Depression all have tremendous impact on the characters. In this activity, students will map the different settings in the book in a storyboard and include illustrations and descriptions.
