Do Now: Imagine yourself as a very elderly man or woman. You have an audience in front of you, and you’re about to tell them one of your many interesting life stories. What would you say would be a crucial piece of information that SHOULD NOT be left out of the story? Explain.

Setting

The setting of a literary work is the time and place in which the story happens.

Questions to ask yourself as a reader and a writer of literature:

WHERE IS MY STORY BEING TOLD? IN WHAT TIME PERIOD DOES IT TAKE PLACE? Here are some examples…

Prehistoric times

Ancient Rome/Ancient Greece

Revolutionary Times

Medieval Times

Civil War Period

The Wild West

The Great Depression

World War I or II

Modern/Contemporary Times

The Future…

The setting is also created and revealed by WHERE the story takes place. Most often this is revealed by means of describing landscapes, scenery, buildings, weather and the season. The most effective way to create setting is using excellent IMAGERY that will appeal to ALL senses.

Not just SIGHT, but also SOUND, TASTE, TOUCH & SMELL. How does each of the following images/settings appeal to your FIVE senses?

Beach

Snow Covered Mountain Range

Desert

Amusement Park

City

Haunted House

Ship on the High Seas

School

Forest

Sporting Event

Fantasy/Magical World

Often times the setting of a literary work has a direct effect on the plot and the plot sequence For example: Dark clouds, thunder, lightening, & rainstorm might reflect tension building up in the plot. Sunny skies, clouds clearing, perhaps a rainbow might reflect resolution in the plot.
