SETTING
May 10, 2012
Today’s Question of the Day is simple…
Use your knowledge of setting (the when and where of a story) to sketch and
color a picture representing (showing) the setting of your favorite book, movie,
TV show, song, work of art, etc.
Here’s the catch…
You may NOT use any words in your drawing – not on signs, not in voice
bubbles, not in anything. Remember that setting includes WHEN and WHERE.
Here’s the challenge…
See if you can illustrate your setting well enough that the class can guess what
your favorite movie is, just by analyzing your picture.
