Introducing Setting Through Description of Event


Description

In this first lesson of the module, students begin their analysis of Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. Students read the first six pages of Song of Solomon, in which Morrison tells the story of Mr. Smith’s flight off of the rooftop of Mercy Hospital. Students then analyze this excerpt as they consider how Morrison introduces the setting of her novel through her description of this event.
