6th Grade Reading - Setting Lesson
Setting A setting is the time and place in which the events in a passage happen.
When you read, think of where, and when, the story takes place.
A story can take place anywhere (the desert or a classroom) and at any time (nighttime, the past, or the future).
Being at a certain place in a certain time affects the way a character behaves.
The setting shapes the plot of the story, play, or poem.
