Physical Setting

When we talk about the "physical" setting, we are referring to the actual location of a story. This includes the geography, location, landforms, the weather or climate, any plants or animals that are found in the area, and man-made objects like buildings, bridges, dams, etc.

Open Ended

What is something that is considered "normal" or "expected" in our school culture, but is different in other settings?

Social Setting

When we talk about social setting, it's the human world in which a story takes place. Every social setting has its own culture - from clothes people wear and what they eat, to how people speak (language, accents, vocabulary), to their beliefs, values, and expected rules for behavior.

The idea of "rules" in social settings refers to the expectations for behavior, determined by all the aspects of a particular culture.
