Tuesday, Jan 5 - Keystone Review

By the end of class, students will review AUTHOR'S TONE, MOOD and STYLE and practice multiple choice questions in order to prepare for the Keystone exam tomorrow an Thursday.

DO NOW

Multiple choice practice - random questions. Use multiple choice strategies to choose the best answer or at least cross two out. You can do this even without the passages for almost all the questions on the handout.

Direct Instruction

author's style and tone

TONE PPT


Guided / Independent

TONE handout - note that often an author will use expressions and figurative language to express a certain tone so look for this when trying to decide.

Style Handout - notice the longer, more complex sentences  - this is a more formal style. See how more formal = more serious TONE?

Shorter, simpler words are more informal. See how it creates a more LIGHT-HEARTED tone?

Check for Understanding 

Individual student checks during independent work

Closure 

review

Exit PASS

Distinguish - tell the difference between
Essential = Necessary
Non - Essential = not necessary
