Class Project:

Here is a video created in our Language Arts class.  It is a summary of Ray Bradburry's short story All Summer in a Day.  The story takes place on Venus where it has been raining for seven years.  The students experience summer in a two hour period...except for Margot.

Here's Jayna and Kiah's version of the story.
