Big Kid Tone Words

After we performed our tone conversations, focusing on the subtle shifts of team positive, team negative, team sorrow, and team neutral, we looked at the AP tone handout and identified our new favorite tone words. Jingoistic - still my favorite! To practice using the list and our former one, we read "Siren Song" by Margaret Atwood and identified the tone of each stanza. On Monday, I will show you how to a tone map and then you will be creating your own.
