Show transcript
Writing is most successful when it is planned. Setting descriptions can start from a bird's eye view and zoom in to a city's streets. We use adjectives and rich vocabulary and we explore the five senses to set a particular mood when describing a setting. Fronted adverbials of place and preposition phrases place items in a setting. We can write a setting description in the third person and the present tense.
