Tone Mapping

Today's class focused on tone shifts via the vehicle of tone mapping. For each text, you identify the shifts, label each section a different tone (synonyms allowed), select two words to make a range, and then construct the tone map for analysis. For instance, "Siren Song's" fluctuating and seductive tones bespeak of the speaker's argument and her goal to "win" the man's attention, soul, and life. During the last portions of class, you began tone mapping "On My Own." At this point, you are your partner are identifying the tone words for each section. Bring back for Thursday's class -- and enjoy the zoo, you lucky seniors!
