Tone Shifting

I hope you noticed that I was wearing my "tone shift" shirt today in order to celebrate that all classes are involved in our tone unit.

1: We played with identifying tone in statements, created dialogue with our umbrella tone list, and shared our favorite new tone words from the big kid's list. We just began reviewing the plot of "Chicago" when the bell shrilled, so we will finish that and create a class tone map sample next class.

3: We took a second look at our class tone map with the purpose of analysis, looking at patterns in tone and how these connect with the poem's meaning. Then, you shared the plot of "A Children's Hour," created partner tone maps, and turned those in.

4: We looked over the plot of "A Children's Hour" and created partner tone maps, which we will analyze in class tomorrow.

7: Due to a shortened class period, we reviewed our tone map from last class and began our look at "A Children's Hour" content.
