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.
