Open-ended questions designed to help students engage with the concept of setting:

• Setting: "Where does the story take place? What clues in the picture or text help you understand?"

• Characters: "How do the characters interact with the place they are in? What do they do there?"

• Details: "What small details do you notice about the setting that make it unique?"

• Environment: "How would you describe the place where the story happens? Is it a city, a forest, or somewhere else?"

• Storytelling: "Can you create a story about this setting? What happens in this place?"

• Observation: "What do you notice in the background of the pictures? How does that help tell the story?"

• Imagination: "If you could change the setting of the story, where would it take place and why?"

• Time: "Is this story happening now, in the past, or in the future? How do you know?"
