Tone, Mood; eLearning & poetry collection activity

Please get into groups of 1-2. Take the first 15-20 minutes of this class to read and complete the handout on TONE & MOOD and An Introduction to Stress & Meter. Turn in your papers at the end of 15-20 minutes.

When you have completed your TONE/MOOD and Stress & Meter exercise, please select one poem from your poetry collection and read it quietly to your partner. If you have no partner, join another group for this part of the assignment today. 

After sharing discuss the poem by identifying the tone, mood, whether it is written in meter or is a free verse poem, and what the theme of the poem might be.

Then move to your own seat and read and complete the analysis of diction, tone, mood, and meter. Hand this sheet in by the end of class today

If you finish these assignments before period 8, please continue to work on your eLearning modules. During period 8, continue your eLearning assignments.

HOMEWORK: Continue to read your chosen poetry collection.
