Where & When

Worksheet Description

This worksheet helps students identify both the location and time of a story. Passages describe a snowy winter day, an old-fashioned cobblestone street, a school gym during a basketball game, a futuristic spaceship, and a New Year’s Eve celebration. Each passage provides rich context clues, and students must write down the where and when.

By completing this activity, students strengthen their ability to extract details that indicate both time and place. They practice distinguishing between historical, present-day, and futuristic settings. This sharpens comprehension while building critical inferencing skills. Over time, they become more adept at recognizing how descriptive writing establishes mood, era, and location.
