Objective: I can define and identify stylistic elements such as tone, mood, analogy, and other literary devices by consulting with my elbow partner about two songs and taking notes during the slideshow presentation.
BW: Listen to the duet between Anita and Maria for “A Boy Like That/I Have a Love” while reading the lyrics. For those on the field trip yesterday, try to determine what is the argument between the two characters. For those present, try to determine the mood and tone that each character conveys.
Activities:
- Group Work: Those present yesterday, will provide a leadership role in helping other students answer the first eight questions of the worksheet.
- Share Out: Students will be asked several questions from the worksheet.
- Group Work: Using the definitions of mood and tone, each group will decide on the mood created by Anita and Maria in the audience and the author’s tone or attitude for each and write them on post-its.
- Share Out: Volunteer groups will share their findings.
- Slide Show Presentation: Students will write definitions and examples for some other important literary devices like analogy, metaphor, personification, etc. Examples will be volunteered from the songs of “A Boy Like That/I Have a Love” and “Sounds of Silence.”
