Read the passage below, then copy it carefully in the lined space provided.

A setting includes the place, the time, and the weather or mood of a story. Authors use descriptive language to help readers picture the setting clearly. Details like the sounds, smells, and sights of a place bring a setting to life.

🌶️🌶️🌶️ Spicy — Copy the Passage

Challenge yourself! Focus on consistent slope, shape, and size throughout the whole passage.

Read the passage below, then copy it carefully in the lined space provided.

The setting of a story is made up of several key elements: the location, the time period, the weather, and the atmosphere or mood. A story might be set in a busy city centre, a quiet forest, or even a distant planet. The time period could be the past, present, or future. Weather and mood help create feelings — a dark, stormy night feels very different from a warm, sunny afternoon. Together, these elements help the reader feel as though they are truly inside the story world.
