Setting Extension

Option 1• Illustrate with collage

or drawing a setting from the story. Include the text in quotation marks that describes what you are illustrating.

Option 2• Find an image in a

magazine of a setting. Tape, staple, or glue it to your paper. Describe it in as much detail as possible to enable the reader to “see” it without the picture.
