All Summer in a Day - Setting
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.
