Teachers, save “Epic Challenge: Settings are Important” to assign it to your class.

Use the EPIC app to read A River of Words: The Story of William Carlos Williams (it is in the Award Winners Collection I assigned to you). Read the book. Think about how the author describes one of the settings. How does the setting impact William? Take a picture of a page where the setting is described. Upload to the SeeSaw app in the Settings are Important assignment. Highlight where the author describes the setting. Add UP TO 3 emojis that represent the setting. Record yourself explaining how the setting is important for Willie.
