OR Running through a park (picture) photographs, interviews His face suddenly turned red as a beet and I could see he was about to exploded. Mode: Graphic Novel

Purpose To provide your reader on how you will portray your character(s) through the mode of text you have chosen for your memoir. Examples: Pictures and Text (Graphic Novel) Stage Direction (Screenplay)

Your turn… Label in your notebook using a full page: Setting a Scene. Imagine the scene. Draw, or free write List all the things that come to your mind when you think of the setting Afterwards circle the most important aspects that you want the reader to understand. Example(s): specific time, actual date, or location that is important to the plot Share your memory with your partner and ask for their feedback about the setting On next page fold in half. Label one side “Setting Details” the other “How I will portray this.” Write down the important aspects of the setting and think of how you can best portray these in your mode of writing.
