Class experience
US Grade 4 - 7
We will examine the difference between mood and tone in writing, and then practice ways to develop MOOD in our own writings. We will do this by first practicing identifying each one, then explaining in our own words the difference between the two. Next we will have a practice worksheet that gives us some guidance for using mood and tone in our writing. Then we will go to our own writing piece and aim to use word choice, emotions, events, reader perception, and descriptions to pump up the MOOD...
Students will learn to write including a specific mood or tone as their writing goal. We will aim to understand and practice word choice, listening for emotion, and reader perception to gain this important skill.
