Choose a setting

The setting is where and when your story happens.  Your choice of setting will determine other elements of your story. The setting can include WHERE your story takes place—at home, at school, around town, in a hospital… wherever you’d like! The setting also includes WHEN your story takes place—past, present, or future.

Think about what you have learned about the virus and the people who are experiencing it. Where are these stories happening? Where might a character face conflict related to the Covid-19 virus pandemic?
