Good afternoon Class!”

“Good afternoon sir”
Before we start our lesson, I have here a
famous phrase.”

“Everybody please read” “Before being quick to judge s

omeone for their actions, you s
hould always try to put yoursel
f in their shoes”

“What do you think does it mean?” “It means that, before you say/
judge someone lives you must
put yourselves first in their
“Ok, very good” situation.”
 ( After sharing, I will ask one student to (AMEN)
lead in prayer)

“OK. Let us begin our discussion by “It’s about “Federigo’s

having a short review. Will someone share Falcon”. He loves selflessly.
what he or she learned from the topic last His generosity led him to
meeting?” sacrifice his prized possession
for the woman he loves.”

“Very Good”
III. Developm
ental Activity “Now, we are going to talk about Tone,
Mood, and Theme”

“What is Tone?” “Tone is the author’s attitude

or feelings about the subject of
his or her writing. The way an
author uses words, creates
images, chooses details, uses
language, and structures
sentences to present a certain
attitude or feeling to the reader
about his/her writing topic
creates his/her tone.”

“Tone can be positive, negative, or

neutral.” Example:

“Ok here the example, please read and I As I walked to school this
want you to identify the tone. Is it positive, morning, the sun greeted me
negative or neutral” smiling. The birds were
chirping their adorable
 morning song. I sang along
with their chirping as I skipped
to school. The reflection in the
puddle grinned back as I
hopped gracefully over the
bright sparkling water. I
couldn’t wait to get to school
and see all of my equally
excited friends. There is
nothing quite as exhilarating as
a bright spring morning when
everything goes right.

Ok, What is the tone of the author?

Is it positive, negative or neutral? “Positive sir”

“Yes, Very Good”

How do you know that tone of the Author

is positive? “The way an author uses
words, creates images, chooses
details, uses language, and
structures sentences”

“Ok very Good”

“Here another example please read”

Example # 2

As I walked to school this

morning, the gray clouds hung
in the gloomy sky. The birds
were chirping their annoying
morning song. I screamed at
the birds as I stomped to
school. The reflection in the
puddle looked ugly as I fell
into the puddle and got all wet
and gross. I couldn’t wait for
school to be over even though
the day hadn’t started. There is
nothing quite as irritating as a
storming morning when
 everything goes wrong.
Ok, What is the tone of the author?
Is it positive, negative or neutral?
“Negative sir” because the
author uses words like gray
clouds, annoying, ugly, gross,
and irritating ect…
“OK, very good’

“Now, let’s proceed to the Mood”

“What is Mood?”

“Is the overall feeling created

by an author’s words. Mood—
also known as atmosphere—is
the overall feeling for the
audience an author creates in
his writing.”

“Ok please read the example and Identify

the mood of the author. Is the author angry, Example:
happy, heartbroken, or scared?”
The girls were playing in the
pond, splashing each other and
trying to catch fish with their
hands. They were having fun
but kept looking over their
shoulders at the looming
forest. The long grass of the
field kept moving and they sort
of felt like they were being
watched... About a half-hour
passed and still the girls kept
checking the field for
movements. It seemed like a
pair of dark eyes was on them.
They even considered going
back inside, but that would
mean homework time. So they
continued splashing, but with
caution now. Their eyes hardly
left the field........
“Ok what was the mood of the author?”

“Is the author angry, happy, heartbroken,

or scared?” “I think scared sir” because the
story was about something
“Why scared?” suspense and you don’t know
what will happen when the
author uses complex words
like “grass was moving”, they
were being watch by dark
eyes.
“Ok very good”

“Another example”

Example #2:

Finally, one of the girls

“Ok what was the mood of the author?”
“Is the author angry, happy, heartbroken,
or scared?”
pointed to the grass and
giggled. "Meow!" A cat sat on
the edge of the field and licked
its paw. They did indeed have
a company. The girls ran over
to the cat and pet his belly.
They laughed and the cat
sauntered back to the field.

Ok good.

“Happy sir”

“Now, Let’s proceed to the Theme”

What is Theme?

“Is the message (or central


“OK, There are two types of Theme first is
major theme and second a minor theme”
“What is major and minor theme?”
‘Ok good”
“Example, the story of Romeo and Juliet
what is the possible theme?”
“Ok very good”

idea) the author portrays about
the subject through the story.”
Major Theme- A major theme
is an idea that a writer repeats
in his literary work, making it
the most significant idea in the
work.
Minor Theme- A minor theme,
on the other hand, refers to an
idea that appears in a work
briefly, giving way to another
minor theme
“Sir the theme is love or lust/
love v. lust because when
Romeo’s “love” for Juliet is
love at first sight, more a sign
of infatuation than love. He
loves her, in fact, based solely
on her beauty before even
meeting her. The same is true
for Juliet”
