Setting

Setting is where and when (or a time and place) a story takes place. It can be a season, a month, a day, a year, or the past, present, or future.

​Theme

The theme of a story is the message the author is trying to show. It can be implied or stated.

A stated theme is found directly at the end of a story.
An implied theme is NOT found in the story - you will have to use your prior knowledge and context clues to infer what you think the theme is in a story.

You should use your prior knowledge and clues from the story to help you decide on a conclusion about something that happens in a story.
