RLA - Fantasy Story Settings - Collect research on your fantasy story setting

The way to begin is to try and find a picture of a place that is similar to where you would like your fantasy story to occur.
Collect research on a real place for the setting of your story. Facts you collect might be related to:
  • Names of Roads
  • Possible businesses/shops
  • Names of buildings
  • Description of Vegetation
  • Noises associated with the place
  • Smells associated with the place
  • Events that might occur there
  • Description of movement in the place
  • Typical weather for the place
Next: Go to http://thebookshelfmuse.blogspot.com/ (find the setting thesarus on the rigght sidfe of the page.) Get ideas for a place that is similar to what you want to describe.

With your facts - ask yourself the question: WHAT IF...
e.g. What if the roads were named  Sir/ Madem - street?
e.g. What if the buildings were great towers?
Don't forget to add some 'fantasy elements' to your description.
Your  research should be completed by  tomorrow.  You will write your final draft in class using tonight's reasrch.

  17. My Fantasy Work
    Juliett Turman Reeiley really wanted her television back. She ranted and raved about it, but nothing worked to brig it back. Since coming to Prayloa, she knew she could find anything she lost in the three miles that Prayloa covered. Prayloa, with one school, 190 full time residents, one hotel, and 72 houses, was not the place to be on holiday. It only had seven televisions in the whole country, and six computers. Juliett finally got her seven friends who had helped her on so many different quests. With her almost 6-foot frame, blond hair and fair skin, Juliett was able to be hoisted up without much complaint, and camouflaged in with the peach colored roof tiles with an athletic arms dangle for a moment, before going up on to the top of the house. She waited for her TV to turn up somewhere, but when she reached the school bullies house, she got suspicious. She had been lurking around the house when the TV had gone missing. Rashkor’s room was a mess, near the door; on the left hand side of the room was a few socks missing pairs. On the right lay unwashed underwear and shorts, and in the misplaced cupboard was in the right corner, not containing anything but a few spider webs and old plastic spoons, forks and knives. Juliett managed a glance out the window, and noticed the black Sedan turning out of Sir Bradford Road and into the driveway. Juliett knew she had to act fast, so she broke all the rules in the book. She levitated the cupboard, disintegrated the wall behind it, and there it was, the TV. Suddenly, she heard a small click and there was Rashkor. Juliett activated her peach colored wings and grabbed hold of the TV as she disintegrated the wall in front of her to fly out. As she looked down on Prayloa for the first time ever, the sweet scent of the roses couldn’t be missed. And in a field of green, she saw red roses, dancing in the wind, as if saying come Juliett come. She flew over the four Mini-Marts in the country, and then flew over the biggest building, the Rosemary, the tallest building in Prayloa, The Foster. She eventually flew over Sunnydale beach and into the open sea. As the sun sank deeper into the sky, the weather stirred, and Juliett turned around.
