Setting Worksheets

"It was a dark and stormy night." We can thank Charles Schultz and his character Snoopy in the Peanuts cartoon for using this famous cliché as a device for setting. Show your students that setting is much more than time and place! Elementary through high school students will see the powerful impact it can have on characters, plot, and mood. Activities in this unit include writing prompts based on setting and mood for story creation, settings to draw, sensory details to fill in, and comprehension selections to read.
