Setting
Details can describe:
✓ Time of day
✓ Time of year
✓ Time in History
✓ Scenery
✓ Weather
✓ Location
• The setting describes where
an when the story takes place.
• It helps build background and
create images in the mind.
• It helps set the tone or mood
of the story.
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
Using the Five Senses
• A good setting helps
the reader visualize
the places in the
story.
• A good author
includes
descriptions of the
setting using the
five senses…
• SIGHT
• SMELL
• TASTE
• FEEL
• SOUND
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
Take a Look…Which is better?
The castle
was beside
the water.
The waves crashed loudly against the shoreline. The
fog lifted lightly and the medieval castle came into
view. It was a beautiful site! The fog brushed my
face and I could smell the smoke from the fire in the
distance and taste the sea salt on my lips. Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
OR…
Your Turn…
• On the next slide, there is a picture of a setting.
• In your own words, write a detailed description of the
setting in your picture. Include many adjectives and
don’t forget to include descriptions for each of the five
senses: see, hear, feel, smell, taste
• Extension: Draw your own setting and then write
about it.
• Extension: Your teacher will give you a magazine to
look through. Find a picture that could be a setting for
a story.
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
Characters
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
Every story needs
Characters…
People Animals Or Creatures
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
The protagonist is the “good
guy”
The antagonist is the “bad
guy” or force
Characterization
Characterization is the
way in which an author
shows the personality of a
character
Characterization is a
technique writers use to
make characters “come to
life.”
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
Think about your favorite book,
movie or TV character…
• How can you describe his/her appearance?
• What kind of personality does he/she have?
• What kinds of things does he/she like?
• Make a list of character traits for this character.
Characterization
Characters are people or animals in a story.
A writer can tell you directly about a character…
(Freddy was very competitive)
Or
A writer can tell you indirectly about a character…
(Two days before the game, Freddy gathered his
teammates and laid out his plan. Then he looked at them
and said, “We are going to win this one. No excuses.”)
Direct Characterization
• Direct Characterization
tells the reader the
personality of the
character.
• Direct Characterization is
obvious to the reader and
“spells” it right out.
• “The patient boy and the
quiet girl were both well
behaved and did not
disobey their mother.
Indirect Characterization
• Indirect
Characterization shows
things that reveal the
personality of the
character.
• Speech
• Thought
• Effect on Others
• Actions
• Looks
The boy sat next to his
sister as she poked him
and teased him. He did
not react. He carefully
picked up her doll from
the floor and placed it
on her lap saying gently,
“Here you go, why
don’t you play with your
doll?
Indirect Characterization
☻What d oes the character say? How does the character speak?
☻ What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts
and feelings?
☻ What is the character’s effect on others? How do other
characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?
☻ What does the character do? How does he/she behave?
☻ What does the character look like? Dress like?

Plot
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
Plot
Plot - the events that take place in a story. Every story
needs a plot! The plot has different “parts…”
Exposition: the start of the story,
before the action starts
Rising Action: the series of
events and conflicts in the story
that lead to the climax
Climax: the turning point, the most
intense moment—either mentally
or in action
Falling Action: all of the
action which follows the
climax
Resolution: the conclusion, the
tying together of all of the threads
Plot Components
The climax is the most exciting
part!!
Special Techniques of Plot…
➢Suspense- excitement or tension
➢Flashback- interrupts the normal
sequence of events to tell about
something that happened in the past
➢Surprise Ending- conclusion that reader
does not expect
➢And…Foreshadowing…
A hint about what will happen next
is called foreshadowing
For example, if you hear this:
Then you know someone’s about to get eaten!
Your Turn…
• You will be given a short story to read.
• Once you’ve finished reading, fill out the plot diagram for the
story.
Conflict
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
Conflict
• Conflict is the
“battle” between
two forces.
• Conflict isn’t always
bad..sometimes it
helps to create
change.
Walsh Publishing Co. 2009
Conflict
Conflict is the struggle between two
forces in a story. Without conflict,
there is no plot.
Types of Conflict
Character vs. Nature
Character vs. Society
Character vs. Self
