“Illustrated Cover”
After exploring the literary devices of tone and mood or atmosphere, students create an illustrated cover for “The Veldt.”
Create an illustrated cover for “The Veldt” that captures the mood and tone of the short story, and discuss the literary techniques the writer uses to achieve the mood and tone.
Once all illustrated covers are displayed, compare the ways in which each one conveys tone and mood, and discuss the literary techniques Bradbury uses to communicate tone and mood.
