Selecting a setting for a story goes beyond choosing a location. To start, students will listen to a passage from two renowned stories, The Odyssey and Harry Potter. Through this experience, students will learn the critical thinking skills used to develop a setting. Students will participate in virtual field trips to locations of modern and classic stories. Students will use their 3D pen to write the name of location(s) they would like the story to take place. Based on student feedback, the instructor will select two locations where the class story will take place. Students will select two IFX characters to use for the story.
