Discussion Performance Task

Mood vs tone reviewed. Mood is the way the reader is supposed to feel at different parts of the story. Tone is the author's attitude about what they've written.

Group Work-continued- Each group writes 2 poems with contrasting moods. The second poem should be based on the first poem, but with diction that reflects a contrasting mood. For example, one cheerful and one gloomy poem. Each poem must have a minimum of six lines and use at least 2 figurative devices, which are labelled in poem. Turn in both poems. If absent, do on your own. You may need the mood worksheet which lists adjectives reflecting mood.

W5-Vocab 2 foldable reviewed. Students are selected to write sentences on the board which are right or wrong ways to complete sentences. Class reviews the use of each word and whether context clues are included to help the reader understand the meaning of the word. Fix this foldable after the review and turn back in for a test grade. All things which need to be corrected are marked by me.
