All Summer in a Day - Setting More options

Activity Overview


Settings help to bring the reader into the story and they really come alive when you use a storyboard to illustrate them. In this activity, students will identify the setting of "All Summer in a Day", and support their choices with details from the text.


Sights and Sounds

  • The story is set on the planet Venus, but it is a fictional version of it, as it does not have the environment which we know it to have.
  • There is constant rain and near hurricane forces at all times.
  • Most of the story shows the characters in their concrete, drab, underground schoolroom with some mention of the tunnels and other underground living areas.
