And please let us know your opinion of these learning materials by visiting ymiclassroom. com/feedbackplaces. We look forward to hearing from you.  \nSincerely,  \nDr. Dominic Kinsley Editor in Chief Young Minds Inspired  \n© 2024 YMI, Inc.  \nQuestions? Contact YMItoll-free at 1-800-859-8005 or by email at feedback@ [ymiclassroom.com](ymiclassroom.com).  \nTM & © 2024 Wizards of the Coast LLC.  \nPlaces, Cities, and Worlds  \nTARGET AUDIENCE  \nGrades 3-5, 6-8  \nPROGRAM COMPONENTS  \n• This teacher’s guide  \n• One reproducible student activity sheet for grades 3-8  \n• One reproducible activity sheet for grades 3-5  \n• One reproducible activity sheet for grades 6-8  \n• Sample images of settings from the worlds of D&D Additional components available at ymiclassroom.com/places:  \n• Storytelling with the Bard teaching kits for grades 3-5 and 6-8  \n• A standards alignment chart  \n• A reproducible family letter  \nCONCEPTS AND SKILLS  \nHOW TO USE THE PROGRAM  \nThis program is a supplement to the Storytelling with the Bard teaching kit and can also be used as a standalone lesson. The activities can be used with or without prior knowledge of D&D. Make photocopies of the activity sheets for students. You will need to display images from the program site (ymiclassroom. com/places) on your board for Activity 1, or share copies of the images with students.  \nACTIVITY 1: EXPLORING SETTINGS  \nStart the activity by sharing this example with the students: Imagine you are sitting on a quiet beach. The sun is setting, casting a warm golden glow over the sand. You can hearthe sound of the waveslapping against the shore and the distant call of seagulls. Theairis filled with the salty scent of the ocean, and you can feel the soft, cool breeze on your skin. The sand beneath your feet is warm from the day’s sun.  \nAsk students: Can you picture the scene? The words help us envision the beach, the time of day, and the environment, or what the beach looks, sounds, smells, and feels like. The place, time, and the environment create the setting for a story.  \nDisplay examples of settings from D&D found at  \n[ymiclassroom.com/places](ymiclassroom.com/places)[ ](ymiclassroom.com/places)[on your board. Distribute the](on your board. Distribute the)[ ](on your board. Distribute the)activity sheet and review it with students. Instead of creating a picture in their minds based on  \na description, students will use their creativity and vocabulary skills to describe the time, place, environment, and other details of one of the pictures to help bring the world to life. Students might complete the activity sheet on their own or in small groups. Answers will vary.  \nACTIVITY 2: SETTINGS: MAPPING IT! Ask the students to think of their favorite story or one they recently read. Ask: Did the main character stay in the same place in the story? Where were they atthe beginning of the story? And atthe end?  \nExplain that settings in stories usually start small and become larger as the main characters journey on their adventure. For example, a story may begin at someone’s house in a small village but then expand to a journey across the countryside, to a large city in a kingdom or a realm. Settings may be real or fantasy-based, from fairy lands to strange planets—which means settings can be as wonderous as the imagination allows!  \nSelect and distribute the activity sheet for your grade level along with blank paper f","cbCaiss9WVTd1xA2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiss9WVTd1xA2","pdf",1729664,"English","# Target Audience\n## Program Components\n## Concepts and Skills\n## How to Use the Program\n# Activity 1: Exploring Settings\n# Activity 2: Settings: Mapping It!\n# The Bard’s Challenge!\n# Resources","[{\"question\":\"What is the target audience for this supplement?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed for grades 3–5 and 6–8 teachers and students.\"},{\"question\":\"How should educators run Activity 1?\",\"answer\":\"Educators should share the example scene, help students envision the beach by focusing on time/place/environment details, display settings examples from the program site, and review the activity sheet with students before they describe one picture.\"},{\"question\":\"What do students do in Activity 2 and the Bard’s Challenge?\",\"answer\":\"In Activity 2, students think about a story and discuss how settings change, then draw maps of settings.
