Setting Creation Worksheet

A simple fill-in-the-blanks setting creation English worksheet which accommodates for a diverse range of student abilities.

Designed for an English lesson on Creative Writing. Suitable for a range of age levels and abilities.

Explanation: The first slide is the worksheet which students receive. There are question prompts which students answer on the page. These prompts ensure that there is some control for the teacher as to what the students are considering when they are creating their settings. The prompts also encourage students to think about elements of setting which they may have otherwise skimmed past. For example, the societal context and how this might impact characters. The final slide are some stock photos which, again, might inspire the students with new ideas if they feel they are stuck.

Differentiation:

The questions get progressively more difficult so that students are not deterred, and they are eased into the work thus finding it more accessible.
There is a section dedicated to drawing so that students with dyslexia and ADHD can have a mind break and not be overwhelmed with the writing.
The worksheet is made using Comic Sans font.
There is plenty of space dedicated for the students to write.
An example worksheet is filled out so that students’ answers are scaffolded with a demonstration.
Inspiration images are supplied for students who are stuck.
