TED-Ed

Guided Notes

Key concepts students will learn:

  • When building a fictional world, it is important to know where you are and whether you’re working in the past, present, or future.

  • Important questions to consider when world-building are: What rules are in place? What kind of government does this world have? What do people believe in here?
