Mr. Stone reviewed the basic parts of a story and the elements of setting. He emphasized the three functions of setting using examples from "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" and "Our Dead, Your Dead."

Students looked up "mood" and "symbol" in their textbook's glossary. Mr. Stone distributed grape juice and cornmeal in small paper cups to illustrate the clashing symbols in "The Man to Send Rain Clouds."
