SUMMARY:My Once Upon a Time\, Lesson 5: Setting--Transport Your Reader
DESCRIPTION:Lesson 5 — Setting: Transport Your Reader \n\n\n\nWhat we learned today:  Setting is never neutral. Every detail argues for a feeling. Figurative language is not decoration — it is a tool for saying something you cannot say any other way. A good comparison does two jobs: it describes the place AND tells us something about the narrator’s emotional state. \n\n\n\nWhat we practiced:  We read Owl Moon aloud and identified how Yolen’s similes do two jobs. We completed a sensory inventory and drafted a setting paragraph of 5–8 sentences. \n\n\n\nWhat belongs in your Story Notebook from this lesson:  Sensory inventory (sound\, smell\, light\, texture\, dominant mood); Setting paragraph draft — 5–8 sentences with at least one figurative comparison doing two jobs \n\n\n\nMentor text used:  Owl Moon by Jane Yolen — the gold standard for figurative language in English \n\n\n\nIf you missed this class\, do this first:  Complete the sensory inventory for your story’s main setting in your Story Notebook: what do you hear / smell / feel / see? Write the dominant mood you want this place to create. Then draft a setting paragraph of 5–8 sentences. Include at least one figurative comparison that describes the place AND suggests the narrator’s emotional state. This paragraph will feed into your full draft.
