About this tool

Good scenes need somewhere to happen, and this generator supplies exactly that: a place and a time period, paired at random, ready to write into. Drop it into a descriptive-writing lesson and ask students to picture themselves standing there before a single word goes on the page, or use it to set the scene for an improvised role play. Because the combinations skew unexpected, students end up describing something they haven't already written about a dozen times. Click through a few results together as a class before writing time starts, just to see how differently people picture the same setting.
