Homework due January 15th.
1.Begin thinking about the SETTING in your Short Story.
The setting is the place and time your story is 'set'. Letting your readers know where and when your story is set will help bring the story to life. If the setting is somewhere your readers aren't familiar with then make sure you describe it in detail.
Two stories can be set in exactly the same place, but feel completely different because of the words the writer chooses to use.
Every story needs a setting. What do you think is the difference between what is happening in the stories of each illustration below? How does the setting change the mood of the story?
3. Put all the pages in your notebook. We will complete pages 34 and 35 in class.
