Pre-AP
Tone and Mood were the topics of today's class. We focused on the difference between the two concepts and went over a list of words that authors typically use to set a certain tone and elicit a certain mood. We then watched two short video clips that were trailers of the same movie, Mary Poppins, and showed how the two editors used elements, such as character and action, to create a very different tone for the movie. We also discussed chapter 9 of Lord of the Flies.
Homework: Students should finish reading Lord of the Flies (chapters 9-12). They should also review their notes on tone and mood, knowing the difference between the two and being able to identify some the key words that set each. Students should also begin working on their final project for the class, which is due December 19th.
AHSGE Reading Review
In preparation for the reading section of the graduation exam, which will take place tomorrow, we will be playing a review game in class today covering all of the different standards that are tested on the AHSGE. We will also take a quiz on Stand and Deliver.
