Creative Writing Workshop KS3/4 - Setting

A creative writing workshop powerpoint aimed at KS3/4 students (although may be adapted up/down).
We look at a range of language techniques including adjectives, symbols and motifs, and pathetic fallacy and how they’ve been used in examples from literature.
This presentation only looks at how writers develop settings.
Throughout, there are quick writing tasks so children can use this techniques in their own writing. Opportunity to explain the creative writing task in GCSE English Language paper 1 and how to break down pictures to look for ideas.
The workshop I ran lasted 90 minutes, but there’s opportunities to break the individual sections down into different lessons. Each technique could, for example, lead into analytical PEE paragraphs using the exemplars.
At the end, there is a quick check for students to get into the habit of checking through for SPaG and sentence lengths/variety. Again, this provides opportunity to link to GCSE assessment criteria.
This is part 1 of a series of 4 workshops. Other workshops include character, plot and editing.
