Setting is where and when a story takes place. It includes the location, like a school or a forest, and the time, like morning or summer. For example, if a story happens in a spooky old house on Halloween night, that’s the setting! The setting helps readers imagine what the characters see and feel. It can make a story exciting or calm, depending on where it takes place.
