7th Grade--11/30

Today we began class by discussing the benefits of beginning a story with the setting. We then made a list about what elements make up setting (location, time, climate, mood, senses, etc), and students used this list to fully describe the setting of their utopia fiction. Students were then given time to write in their journals, stopping periodically to share their writing with the class.
