Today we'll begin with lesson #4 on our grammar page. Then we'll read and discuss a mentor text on tone. Before you leave, you'll complete another notebook entry related to tone in narrative writing.
#3 Setting the Tone
For this entry, pick one of the following emotionally charged words to be the TONE of your story: TERRIFIED, ASTONISHED, ELATED, INCONSOLABLE, or FURIOUS. Then brainstorm all the situations you can think of in which you felt this emotion. Ultimately you will pick one of these times and write a story about it. If you have trouble getting started, remember to look to our mentor texts for some help.
