All Summer in a Day Open Book Test

  1. As “All Summer in a Day” begins, the children await an event the scientists on Venus told them to expect. How does this event relate to the story’s setting? Use details from the beginning of the story to respond. The children live on Venus, where it has been raining for seven years. The children have been told that the rain will stop and they will see the sun on this specific day.
  2. Margot is different from the other children in “All Summer in a Day.” What is the author’s purpose in making her different? Use details from the story to support your answer. Include information about how Margot differs from the other children.

Margot has been on Venus for only four years. The other children have been on Venus their entire lives. They do not remember the sun, but Margot does. The author’s purpose in making Margot different is to emphasize the strangeness of life on Venus.

  1. In “All Summer in a Day,” the children watch as the rain is slackening. They become excited and concerned, because they don’t want to miss a special experience. How does slackening suggest what is about to happen? Use clues from the story to support your answer.

The word slackening means easing or slowing. The children are waiting for the rain to stop and for the sun to come out, which the scientists have told them will happen.

  1. As the story of “All Summer in a Day” progresses, the author describes Margot’s physical appearance. Why is this description important in helping the reader understand more about her? In your answer, use details from the description to explore how she might be feeling.

The author describes Margot as frail and washed out looking. She is almost a ghost in her appearance, suggesting that her feelings are also delicate. It is as if she is fading and dying without the sun.

  1. How is Margot like and unlike the other students in “All Summer in a Day”? Use details from the middle of “All Summer in a Day” to support your response. Include in your answer an explanation that tells why the other children are angry with her.

Margot and the other children share the circumstance of suffering from the constant rain and lack of sun. Since Margot has seen the sun more recently than the other students, they are jealous of her. They do not believe what she says about the sun and accuse her of lying.

  1. In the middle of “All Summer in a Day,” the author calls it a crime that Margot came from Earth only five years ago. What is the author’s purpose in choosing such a strong word to describe her appearance on Venus? Use examples from the story to justify your response.

The author uses the word crime to emphasize how strongly the other children feel about Margot. They hate her for remembering the sun and treat her as though she had committed some illegal act.

  1. What conclusion can you draw about how the school showers make Margot feel in “All Summer in a Day”? List two reactions in the organizer. Then, explain why her reaction is so intense.

Margot’s Reactions

Clutches her ears

Screams that the water must not touch her head

Conclusion Her reaction is intense because it shows how annoyed and bothered Margot is by the rain. She feels trapped inside and outside because of the rain.
