What important information does this setting
communicate about the story?
The children assembled first, of course. School was
recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty

together quietly for a while before they broke into
boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom
and the teacher, of books and reprimands.

explanation:

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
