Y7 Creative Writing - Setting

These resources constitute two lessons on how to create a setting when writing creatively.
The first lesson focuses on the use of the five senses to fully describe a setting. This is practised through a guided story, where claming music is played and pupils are asked to close their eyes whilst they imagine responses to questions asked by the teacher (script provided). Once they have imagined their setting with the help of the guiding questions, pupils must complete a worksheet (provided) and write a short description of their setting.
The second lesson focuses on the way in which genre affects setting. Pupils are introduced to the concept of pathetic fallacy and must use the information they've learned to create a piece of descriptive writing. Challenge activities are provided throughout.
