Describing Setting

Read the following extract:

They took their lunch out onto the field, beyond the rock garden and sat under a tree
to eat it. To Cameron’s relief, Sam and Anna changed the conversation to the end-
of-term camping trip in the Iria district. Looking at the steely, grey lake in the
distance, Cameron drew his coat around him to protect himself from the cold wind.
He noticed some geese land on the lake and a ripple form around them. Thinking no
one would notice he made the ripple move gently across the lake. Suddenly, a gust
of wind blew his coat up and the tall, black cloaked figure of Zedric appeared beside
them.

Task

1) Imagine Egypt. How would the setting be different to the one above. What
would you expect to find there? What would the children be wearing? How
might they behave differently?
2) Imagine Iceland. How would the setting be different to the one above. What
would you expect to find there? What would the children be wearing? How
might they behave differently?

set? Will your characters travel to different places? Describe the scenery,
temperature and clothing of at least one of the places you have imagined.
