  1. Warm up # 3 Listen to the song “ Radioactive” After hearing the song, write down all of the emotional or descriptive words that you may have heard or that you feel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeD_VvTFvac

  2. TPO • We will demonstrate our prior knowledge of denotation, connotation,diction,mood, and tone using the device of music to reinforce these concepts.

  3. Radioactive • Listen to the music as you read the lyrics to the song, and decide what is the overall subject of the song as well as what is the overall action taking place in the song. • Example: Police Officer • Pulling over someone on the highway

  4. Connotation/Mood/Tone • Highlight all the emotional, descriptive words in the song • Looking at the words you have highlighted, write down the connotation of each word. • Write down as many words that you feel after reading the song. What is the mood of the song?

  5. Tone • What is the overall author’s feeling (tone) toward the subject of the song?

  6. Theme • What is the overall lesson that the author is attempting to convey through his use of tone and mood? Make sure to write at least a 5 sentence paragraph that includes embedded quotes, a theme statement and explanation.

  8. Warm up # 4 • Listen to the piece of music and come up with your own diction ( at least 5 words) that convey feelings and write down the overall mood of the piece. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWzdGBW82_c

  9. TPO • We will recount our understanding of diction , tone and mood through synthesis of a musical piece and a short answer component. We will use this prior knowledge to investigate author’s purpose in a piece of literature as well as tone, mood, and diction.

  10. TONE TUNE # 1 • Now looking at your words that you came up with and the overall mood that you chose, decide on what subject could you write a story about ( at least 5 sentences). Write a quick story that is inspired by the music. • At the end of your story, switch your story with another classmate and then write at least a 5 sentence paragraph that answers this question on the story that you got from the other person: • What is the overall tone the author has toward his subject. Make sure to use embedded quotes and evidence from your story to prove your assertion.

  11. Author’s purpose: Lord of the Flies • As all authors use their life and times as reference points in their works, Golding drew heavily on the social-religious-cultural-military ethos of his times. The island and the boys and many other objects and events in the work represent Golding's view of the world and humankind in general. Golding spent two years as a science student at Oxford University before he aborted his pursuit of science for a degree in English literature, his first step toward a rejection of the science. When World War II began, Golding was involved in the invasion of Normandy on D-Day. After his military experience, Golding was a schoolteacher. Three things Golding wanted to get across: (1) The desire for social and political order through parliaments, governments, and (2) The natural inclination toward evil and violence (3) The belief in supernatural or divine intervention.

  12. Author’s purpose:Brave New World • Raised in this family of scientists, writers, and teachers (his father was a writer and teacher, and his mother a schoolmistress), Huxley received an excellent education, first at home, then at Eton, providing him with access to numerous fields of knowledge. • Much of his work deals with the conflict between the interests of the individual and society, often focusing on the problem of self-realization within the context of social responsibility. • Through its exploration of the pitfalls of linking science, technology, and politics, and its argument that such a link will likely reduce human individuality. • Huxley anticipated all of these developments. Hitler came to power in Germany a year after the publication of Brave New World. World War II broke out six years after. The atomic bomb was dropped thirteen years after its publication

  13. Diction,connotation,mood,tone,author’s purpose • Read chapter 1 • On a lined piece of paper from your reading section of your notebook, label the paper as the title of the book and the heading above. List as many diction words that standout to you especially ones that evoke feeling. Number them. • Answer these questions in complete sentences after you have read chapter 1. • What is the overall mood of chapter 1? • What is the overall tone of chapter 1?
