Develop understanding of settings using these Exploring Settings resources. Teachers can pick from the suggested questions to discuss where stories are set, inferring information given by characters or descriptions included in the narrative.
A separate exploring settings worksheet can be used to encourage pupils to write what they know about a setting and recording their own questions to find out more.
Answering and asking questions is part of the programme of study for reading from Year 2. Exploring settings in the narrative texts that pupils read can lead to exploring the techniques authors use when describing settings, such as using the senses, figurative language and expanded noun phrases. This can lead to pupils using different techniques in their own settings descriptions in narrative writing.
The resources can be used to explore settings in books that you are reading as a class or in books that pupils are reading independently. Studying how authors describe settings can widen vocabulary choices and encourage children to use different techniques when describing settings that they create in their own writing.
