1. Today you are going to describe the setting of your book. There will actually be many settings (specific rooms, places the character goes, etc.). Here is a funny video that shows how important a setting is for a story.
2. Here are some things to think about with setting:
- Place (the castle, Chicago, the woods)
- Location (the dining room, the top of the Sears tower, beside the old oak tree)
- Objects (a vase of tulips, a pair of binoculars, a ring of mushrooms)
- Time (morning, midnight, dusk)
- Weather (stormy, clear sky, hot)
3. The time, weather and maybe location will change throughout your novel. You need to make sure you let the reader know the setting of the chapter you are writing. If your novel takes place over a long time, the weather will need to change!
4. Today in your My Book packet, write a description of the overall setting of your book. Include
- Time (today, 500 years ago, 500 years in the future)
- Location (in South Philadelphia, the Great Wall of China, in the Pacific Ocean, in space
- Location part 2 (playground, store, apartment, castle, house, village, school, space station, planet–more specific this time)
- Weather (what time of year is it, what is the weather generally)
5. Description of your location part 2: Draw a picture and write a description, add as many details as possible. Does it have an apple tree? A good climbing tree? A place to hide? A fence? A secret tunnel? How will this setting help or hinder the good guy? the bad guy? At least 5 sentences.

Reading – Read for fun when you are done with your day!!
Writing – Today we are going to make a detailed plan of your plot. In your My Book packet, fill in the Plot section:
- Introduction: your story is going to start with the background and setting the scene. Write a few notes on how your story will start.
- Conflict or Inciting Moment: There’s going to be an incident that sets off the conflict and asks the big question. This is where the entire plot begins. Everything before this was just setting the stage.
- Rising Action: This is all the stuff that happens in the story leading up to the climax. Then there is going to be conflict, complications, and ups and downs. Makes notes on at least 3 key things that will happen along the way. Add a few complications, conflict points, where your character seems to get ahead and then is knocked back down. In the beginning we think, “Of course, he’s going to get there. Of course he’s going to win.” and etc. At some point we need to question, “Maybe he’s not going to…” At some point it needs to look bad for our main character. We have to be wondering if it’s all going to work out
- Climax: This is the turning point of the story. For example, the battle the hero has been working towards or the event that everyone has been preparing for. This is the last big scene where we are about to find out the answer to the question of what was the whole point of the story. It will create a change in the character. It’s tense. We are in suspense.
- Falling Action: This is all the stuff that happens after the big event. It is when we find out what happens to everyone and all of our questions about what has happened and why are answered.

Writing –
1. Now that you have your plot mapped out, let’s think a little more about your story. There can be smaller stories within your story. Maybe your main character wins the big game, but by the end, winning isn’t as important anymore because he’s made friends. Or maybe he’s always fighting with his brothers, but in the story they need to work together and they become friends. Maybe he’s failing at school, but he discovers the secret formula needed to save the planet and gets an A+ in science.
2. Think about it. What would be the beginning, middle, and end for this smaller story? In your My Book packet, write a 5 sentence mini story with one sentence for the beginning, two sentences of rising action, one sentence for the climax, and then the last sentence for the falling action and conclusion.
