Plot Review

© Presto Plans

To put it simply,

the setting is the

time and place of

the action in a

fictional story.

WHAT IS SETTING?

© Presto Plans

The setting of any story includes

three closely related aspects:

SETTING

1. The physical world

2. The time of the action

3. The characters’

social environment

© Presto Plans

The physical setting includes the author’s description of the

place, scenery, weather, location, season etc. A good author

sets the scene of the physical world, so the reader is able to

transport themselves into the world of the characters.

Some words you might use for the physical world include city,

state, country, castle, cottage, snowy, sunny, summer, park etc.

PHYSICAL WORLD

© Presto Plans

The time in which the action takes place could

include information on the time of day, time of

year, or even a particular time in history!

Some words you might use for the time period could

include afternoon, evening, the future, colonial times, etc.

TIME

© Presto Plans

The social environment of the setting includes the

manners, customs, and moral values of the characters’

society. This could include local customs or societal

norms that differ from the modern day world of the

reader, or from a country that is foreign to the reader.

Some words you might use for the social environment

might be traditions, customs, norms, values, manners etc.

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

To recap, the setting details could describe:

Time of dayTime of yearTime in historySceneryWeatherLocationSeasonLocal customsSocietal norms

SETTING CHECKLIST

© Presto Plans

A good setting allows the reader to easily visualize the

places in the story. A good author will include detailed

descriptions of the setting which use imagery (5 senses)

DESCRIPTION

© Presto Plans

Listen to the difference between a basic setting

description and a more detailed one which uses imagery:

HEAR THE DIFFERENCE

“It was foggy beside the water”

OR“The waves crashed loudly against the

shoreline. The fog lifted lightly and

the medieval castle came into view. It

was a beautiful sight! The fog brushed

my face, and I could smell the smoke

from the fire in the distance and taste

the sea salt on my lips.”

© Presto Plans

The setting can also create a particular mood.

This means it can affect the way we, the reader,

feel. Consider the following settings.

What mood do they evoke?
