The setting of a story is the place where the story happens and the time when it happens.

The setting answers the questions of where and when. The setting doesnt have to be a real time and place. It can be imaginary, like the island, Neverland, in the story of Peter Pan. Can you think of some stories . . . . . . that are set in the future? . . . that happen in the past? . . . that are set in the present? . . . that take place during a war? . . . that are set in the ocean or sea? . . . that take place in outer space? . . . that happen on an island or a mountain? . . . that take place in the Arctic or Antarctic? . . . that take place in a city? . . . that are set in an imaginary place?
