  1. I’m Mr. TAA daa! Tone and Mood aka MR. TAA Mr.=Mood is to Reader Taa=Tone is author’s attitude Borrowed and modified from www.slps.org

  2. We will work on this as a class. • This power point should take us about 10-15 minutes if you listen and pay attention. You only need to discuss with your table partner and as a class. Let the guest teacher finish this promptly. • You have the rest of class to finish your class work 35 minutes. • And after you finish the class work you can work on your homework Miss Roberts assigned. STAAR test next week!

  3. What is Tone? • Tone is the author’s attitude toward the subject, the characters or the readers, which is revealed by the author’s word choice. (HOW THEY SAY WHAT THEY SAY)

  4. Activity 2: Let’s Read the poem “This is Just to Say” by William Carlos Williams I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which 5 you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious 10 so sweet and so cold

  5. What is the author’s tone towards the subject of forgiveness? Tone word: Insincere Explain: While Williams attempts to say he is sorry, “Forgive me” (ln. 9), the insincerity of his apology is evident as he waits to ask for forgiveness until the last stanza of the poem. Additionally, he goes on to explain how good the plums were that she was saving for breakfast “they were delicious/so sweet/and so cold” (ln. 10-12). That he rubs in how good the plums were shows he wasn’t sincere in his “apology.”

  6. What is the author’s tone? Prove it.Discuss as a class. • If only there were some decent jobs out there, I wouldn’t be reduced to living in this miserable dump. This place is shabby and needs major repairs. Ugh, the no good landlord is always late.

  7. What is the author’s tone? Prove it.Discuss as a class. • This isn’t the greatest apartment in the world, but it’s not really that bad. If only I could find some decent jobs out there, I wouldn’t be reduced to living in this old building. I’ll find a good one sooner or later. This place does need some repairs, but I’m sure the landlord will be making improvements sometime soon. For now it’s home and it will do just fine.

  8. What is Mood? • Mood is the feeling a piece of literature arouses in the reader. It is the atmosphere created by the author. Some literature makes us feel happy, sad, angry, etc • Mood is often created by setting, but word choice is important too!

  9. Activity 1 “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allen Poe During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing along, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher…I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled luster by the dwelling…[with] vacant and eye-like windows.

  10. Activity 1 Cont. Mood word: Depressing Explanation: The setting of this short story is at a house that is described as melancholy. Additionally, the day is “dull, dark, and soundless”. The depressing word choice here creates a feeling of sadness. Additionally, the story is set in autumn, a time of year when the leaves are “dying” and the summer is “dying”.

  11. What mood do you find in these pictures?

  12. You Try: The Mood is? “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck A water snake glided smoothly up the pool, twisting its periscope head from side to side; and it swam the length of the pool and came to the legs of a motionless heron that stood in the shallows. A silent head and beak lanced down and plucked it out by the head, and the beak swallowed the little snake while its tail waved frantically.
