Sometimes, you have to use clues from the story to figure out the setting.  \nRead the story and underline clues about the setting:  \nAcross the Wide Ocean  \nEliza gripped the wooden railing, staring out at the endless waves. The ship rocked beneath her feet, rising and falling with the water. The salty wind blew her hair into her face, and a spray of cold ocean mist stung her cheeks. She pulled her wool shawl tighter around her shoulders. It had been weeks since they had seen land.  \nBehind her, people sat close together on crates and barrels. Women in long dresses whispered to one another. A man in a wide-brimmed hat mended a torn coat. Nearby, children played a quiet game with pebbles, their bare feet tapping on the wooden boards. The air smelled like damp wood, seawater and salted fish.  \nA sailor walked past, carrying acoil of thick rope. The ship’s sails flapped in the wind, and above them, seagulls called out in sharp cries. The whole ship creaked as it moved forward.  \nEliza’s stomach grumbled. That morning, she had eaten only a small biscuit and a piece of dried meat. The food, stored in barrels below deck, had to last the whole journey. Last night, her mother had mixed flour and water to bake bread over the ship’s iron stove. It wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing.  \n“Look!” someone shouted.  \nEliza turned as a young boy pointed to the sky. A flock of birds soared overhead. Excited voices filled the air.  \nThey had learned that birds meant land was near.  \nHer heart pounded. Could it be true? Would they finally see the new land they had dreamed about for so long?  \nA sailor climbed the ropes, shading his eyes as he looked ahead.“Watch straight ahead,” he called.“It won’t be long now.”  \nEliza gripped the railing. The journey had been long—weeks of rocking waves, stormy nights and endless water in all directions. She thought about the stories her father had told her about the new land. According to him, it would be a place with tall forests, wide rivers and rich soil where they could build a home.  \nEliza took a deep breath. The ocean air was cold and sharp, but she didn’t mind. Soon, she would step onto new ground.  \nThen pick your top four clues and record them in the chart below:  \nSetting clue  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nSetting clue  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nSetting clue  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nSetting clue  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nBased on these clues, when and where do you think the story takes place?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nAnswers  \nSetting Clues:  \nAccept any clue as long as it comes from the story.  \nBased on these clues, when and where do you think the story takes place?  \nThe story takes place on a ship a long time ago (e.g., hundreds of years ago!).","cbCaicuXk3jQiZ7L","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicuXk3jQiZ7L","pdf",151786,"English","# Elements of a Story: Setting\n## Story Read: Across the Wide Ocean\n## Underline Setting Clues\n## Record Top Four Clues\n## Answer: When and Where the Story Takes Place","[{\"question\":\"What does the worksheet say “setting” means in a story?\",\"answer\":\"Setting is where and when the story takes place.
