Group Setting: Haunted Carnival
Name of setting: Grimmfair Carnival
Description: Grimmfair Carnival is an abandoned, run-down amusement park that was once filled with laughter and joy but now sits in eerie silence. The rickety roller coasters, dilapidated Ferris wheel, and faded circus tents create an atmosphere of dread. The once-colorful carnival games are now covered in cobwebs and the merry-go-round squeaks ominously as it slowly spins. The air is thick with an unsettling mix of nostalgia and the paranormal, as if the spirits of forgotten performers and visitors still linger here. The flickering lights and distorted music further add to the eerie ambiance of Grimmfair Carnival.

In your group, come up with 1 setting that could be effective for our class anthology( which is horror ). You will share these with the class on Monday morning and we will vote on the best setting.
Group work key questions:
Where does the story take place specifically (setting)? – A single town, a large castle, a satellite, an alien planet, the wild west, a haunted mine, a plain high school? Decide on the specific setting and give the location a clear name – you will need to express and expand on this in your writing.
Things to consider:
It should fit with our chosen genre
It should be open enough for lots of different stories to be set here
It should be vivid - we want to be able to imagine being in this place.
