Engage
Brainstorm Kagan Strategies

- What is tone? What is the difference between
tone and mood? Capture student attention for Mood:
- Think-Pair-Share Tangled Trailers (Regular vs. Horror. How is the mood established?)

● Who has learned about tone and mood?
- KWL Chart
Pique their interest
● What do you see, think, wonder when you watch this
video, or hear this story?

Explore
Conduct research Videos on tone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3yWmXbC36s

difference between tone and mood. Each group will be given a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urEh4_fTtao
different video to watch and take notes on.
Videos on Mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEFIzqPAkUs

word choice words that generate tone, and highlighting words
that are used to create mood, showing the distinction between Groups of 4 Students (Some groups may overlap on videos).

misconceptions of tone vs. mood.
● Reiterate key ideas in class discussion, addressing any

between tone and mood.
 Explain how
● Model how I would approach searching for tone and
mood through word choice with a different article
addressing some of the mistakes I heard while
students were in the EXPLORE stage.
Student-created study materials and resources
● Design kahoot game for students to choose whether a
sentence conveys mood or tone or both.

Evaluate
- Google Forms
Students will complete their KWL chart and fill out a google
form with their KWL information. The students will then have
a chance to inquire about anything they are still uncertain on.
