Write the next information in your notebook of Reading. 

Setting

Good readers identify the setting of a play as they read. 

What is the setting?
Is where and when a play takes place. (Es donde y cuando tiene lugar una obra/historia)

If you pay attention to details in the text, such as dates, place names, and descriptions of the landscape, you can identify the setting. The setting is an important part of the play because it affects who the characters are and how the events in the play transpire. 
As an example: 
                       How the events and characters of a play set at the bottom of the ocean might differ from those of a play set in the dessert. 
 Characters in these settings need different things to survive, which may affect their motivations and behavior. Also, an event such as a storm would have different effects on an underwater setting than on a land setting. (Los personajes en estos entornos necesitan diferentes cosas para sobrevivir, lo que puede afectar sus motivaciones y comportamiento. Incluso, un evento como una tormenta puede tener diferentes efectos en un escenario submarino que en un escenario terrestre)
