Describing a Setting Extract
Highlight / underline in one colour where the setting is described
and in another colour where atmosphere is created.

The boys moved off and disappeared in the gloom. Before long,
they were wading through the tall grass of the ghastly graveyard. It
was a graveyard of the old-fashioned western kind; a large crypt
surrounded by smaller graves on a hill just beyond the village. It
had a crazy board fence around it, which leaned inwards in places,
and outwards in others. “Sacred to the memory of So-and-So” had
been painted onto or etched into the tired faces of each of the
tombstones once, but it could no longer be read on the most of
them, even in the light of day.

A faint wind moaned through the trees, and Tom feared it might be
the spirits of the dead complaining at being disturbed. The boys
talked a little, and only under their breath when they did. It seemed
appropriate.

Finally, they found the place they were seeking. Then, they waited
in silence for what seemed like an hour. Tom’s reflections grew
oppressive. He had to speak out to break the tension: “Hucky, do
you believe the dead people like it for us to be here?”
Planning a Setting Description (Page 1)
First, make note on these details of our setting. What are you
describing?

Inhabitants (What Type your answer here

Focus (What draws Type your answer here

Decide through whose eyes your reader is seeing the setting. They
should be someone quite relatable- your neader needs to
understand and share the character’s feelings.
