First listen to the story The Meanest Thing to Say and then answer question regarding when the story takes place. Using evidence from the text, text clues and pictures to order events and find the time frame of the story is what this lessons all about. The class finds at least two facts from the story to prove why they think the story is set in a specific time frame.
