The setting of a story doesn't just serve as a backdrop, it can also impact the characters who live there. Jacqueline moved many times throughout her childhood, shaping who she became as an adult. She has lived in Ohio, South Carolina, and Brooklyn, New York. These three locations are all very different, yet she has felt that each is home to her. For this activity, students will describe and illustrate each location and what Jackie’s life was like when she lived there. They should use evidence from the text to support their answers.
