I especially appreciated the way teachers modeled the writing process and encouraged collaboration. The resources you provided were thoughtful and practical—we can definitely take these back to dhruv to incorporate.

1. 5 Senses Setting Description

Encourage students to describe their setting using:

What can you see?

What can you hear?

What can you smell?

What can you feel? (touch)

What can you taste? (if relevant)

2. Zoom In – Zoom Out

Teach them to "zoom out" and describe the big picture (weather, landscape), then "zoom in" on small details (an old wooden door, a dusty bookshelf, a tiny crack in the wall).

3. Setting as Mood Creator

Explain how setting can show the feeling of the story:

Dark forest = scary

Bright beach = happy

Stormy night = mysterious or tense

4. Show, Don’t Tell

Instead of telling the setting ("It was a hot day"),
teach them to show it:
"Sweat trickled down my neck as the blazing sun beat down on the empty playground."

5. Setting Word Bank / Anchor Chart

Create class word banks for different settings:
Example:
→ Forest words: towering, whispering leaves, mossy, shady, chirping
→ City words: buzzing, crowded, flashing lights, honking cars
