Tone: Assignment 1 Instructions



5th graders welcome to our class poetry blog. The first poetic element we focused on is tone. To get our blog started find your name below under a team name. Once you find your team name, find the post labeled with that name and read the poem attached. As you read your team's poem remember what we learned about tone in class. Some examples of tone are formal, informal, serious, humorous, amused, angry, playful, neutral, satirical, gloomy, and sad.

If you need a review take a look at this short video on YouTube.

Have fun!

  2. I think Wordl is a perfect tool for teaching concepts and characteristics related to TONE. I like the wordl better than the video. Tone is about words and somehow the video does not capture the impact of words and the tone of a message
