  1. Daily Warm-UpAP Literature - Matteson Places in Literature… What does setting tell us? Why is imagery important?

  2. Spend a few minutes thinking about a place that has moved you immensely.  It must be a place that once made a strong impact on you:  whether that be a negative or positive impact is your choice.  Perhaps you are thinking about a childhood memory, a holiday or an everyday place that strikes a particular chord with you.

  3. At the top of your paper… Make some detailed notes about the place:  how it makes you feel; objective descriptions; memories, including all five senses; consider how the place is affected by the seasons.

  4. Now, imagine the place as seen through the eyes of a character - not you - who arrives there for the first time.  Write the scene of that character's arrival. It may be a character from East of Eden or something else you’ve read, or it may be a character you make up right now, but I want you to use this exercise to deepen your understanding of that person. Remember - the character's awareness of the location is key. 1st or 3rd Person is fine.

  5. Debrief • What was this experience like for you? • How do you think this activity will help you understand the purpose of a specific point of view, setting, and imagery? • Do you want to do more creative writing in our warm-ups?
