Does Changing the Setting Change the Details?

One of my favorite activities to do for critical thinking is changing the setting of a story. I am reading Charlotte's Web a chapter per day to my Kinder students. It is set on a farm-farm animals, Mr. Zuckerman is a farmer, the descriptions of all the farm sounds and sights. What would happen if we changed that setting? What other details would change? It wouldn't be a pig, geese and a rat-who would it be?

I assign the settings and show them pictures of those places to give them ideas for characters and plot points.
