What educators are saying
This was relevant to my students and drove the point of mood and tone. I have not used the theme part just yet, but because of this resource my students are finding the tone of other pieces of text.
Description
Want to help your students understand the difference between mood and tone? In this lesson, students use art and song lyrics to analyze the difference between the two terms. Use the visual examples to help students apply their understandings. Using lines from songs students will can discuss how different interpretations and understandings can shape and influence the artists message.
