J.K. Rowling Harvard Commencement Speech

Using Frozen for Mood vs Tone
Each year, the use of videos in daily lessons is becoming more and more acceptable -- no essential. This mini-unit takes that into account by comparing two trailers to Disney's Frozen. Students will first watch the official trailer and discuss the tone and mood. Next, they will watch Bobby Burn's edited version. He does a masterful job of twisting dialogue and altering color schemes to recreate a horror trailer. After this, students will compare the two. The unit plan then proceeds to Roald Dahl
