 Hello and welcome back to yet another lesson. Now, an often overlooked setting that students don't tend to practice enough of and the kind of blindsided if they see a question and it's specifically an image related to it is a city setting or even a town setting. Okay. So this is a setting where there's lots of buildings, skyscrapers, modern houses and so on. I would argue that not enough students practice writing creatively based on a city setting. Okay. So what I've done is crafted a story plan that you can use if you were to write about say an adventure or something terrifying that happens in a city landscape. Okay. So using story mountain structure, you could start off your beginnings. This is where you establish the setting, the weather, the mood and so on. And especially also your protagonist. Now in your beginning paragraph, you as the narrator or you can write about in third person, you are cycling your bicycle home from school. Right. So you're cycling. You've had a great day from school. It's the afternoon. The sun's warm rays. Right. So really, really nice use of pathetic fallacy. You know, you feel really happy. So this is being reflected in the sunshine. Right. So you're cycling your bicycle home from school and you decide to cut through the city centre. You take in all of the views. You take in the skyscrapers. You take in this the wafting sense of this metropolis metropolis means a large city. You weave in and out of people. Right. Maybe busy tourists as well as people who are commuting home from the office. This is office workers. So you describe in lots of detail and lots of vivid detail what you see as you're weaving your way through the city on the spice court. You just feel really elated. You feel really happy. You're coming home from school. You just had a great day. Okay. So you've established a really positive atmosphere in your first paragraph. Now in your build up paragraph, you then decide because you want to get home really quickly. You're super excited to get home. You decide to cut through a side street. And as you do so, you sense that there's somebody following. You turn on your bicycle and notice that there is a man. Maybe the man looks really disheveled. Right. He's maybe wearing like an oversized dirty blazer. Perhaps he's wearing baggy jeans which are ripped at the, you know, at the joints. Right. So in his knees, he's perhaps on a rickety bicycle, like a little ancient old bicycle. And he, you know, maybe he has like this overgrown yellowing beard. You know, it seems like filled with food and stuff. You know, so you're describing this kind of person who looks a little bit dodgy and he's on a bicycle and he's following you. Okay. So now you're building up to your third paragraph, which is your problem paragraph. So you notice this and so you decide to pedal faster and faster. And so you're, you're, you know, you're starting to get scared. Your pupils are dilating. You know, your heart is racing. Sweat is running down your temples as you decide to pedal faster in order to try and dodge this person. And what you decide to do, which obviously now increases your problems is to try to avoid this person. You enter an alleyway, right? So you cycle into an alleyway and your heart races as this person who's following you also enters the same alleyway and he, on his bicycle, he seems to close in on you. Right. So he's kind of following you with your bicycle. You go into this alleyway. Perhaps this alleyway also smells quite musty. It has all these pungent, putrid scents. Okay. Remember also, this is a city, right? So there's lots of alleyways, lots of narrow warrens and things and you're going and pedaling through that. So you also need to describe what you can smell, right? These pungent, putrid stentions, for example, like fish that's been cast away, maybe the pungent, putrid smell of pollution as well. Okay. Now in your resolution, so you decide, okay, I need to, you know, somehow shake this person off me who's chasing me and who's following me. So in your resolution paragraph, you decide to turn into an even more narrow path, but then you realize you're at a dead end. You have nowhere else to go. And the man suddenly then crashes into your bicycle's back wheel. So now he's cornered you and he's hit the back wheel of your bicycle. You're really scared. You don't know what to do. This leads into the ending. So your bicycle forced the ground from the force, right? You also trip to the ground. You fall to the ground. And this man obviously parks his bicycle behind you, comes and snaps out a knife. Maybe he has a pen knife and you can see this gleaming knife. And of course by this stage, even if it's still the afternoon, perhaps one of the skyscrapers has hidden the sun's rays from you. And it's just long, dark shadows that are cast onto this man as he's kind of pointing this knife at you. And he starts barking orders at you, asking for your phone and your wallet, right? So obviously he wants to pickpocket you or not even pickpocket you. He wants to rob you, right? So he's asking for your phone and wallet. Give me your wallet. Give me your phone, right? So this is why he probably chased you. And shakily, you gaze around and realize that you are all alone, right? So of course this is really scary and you're using the city atmosphere, but you're creating a fairly kind of ominous story based on a city landscape. In case this is a sitting setting. So that's really it with the story plan that you could use for this particular setting.
