Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
Narratives are almost always set in a physical world of objects and places. In this activity, we look at how we can use expanded detail to emphasise important parts of the world and give readers a specific image in their mind's eye. We use a snippet from Grace Lin's Where the Mountain Meets the Moon as a model.
