Tone & Mood Practice

Song Lyrics are a form of poetry (lyrical poetry) and the Tone of these poems can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the reader/artist who wants to perform them.

*Materials Needed:

Directions:

1). Choose five different titles (2 artists/title) to listen to.  This means you will be listening to each song twice.

2). Appropriately fill out the grid for each one of the songs.

3). There are seven song options, so you can pick and choose which ones interest you the most.

4). Think about the contrasting mood each reader/artist gave to the song.  Same words, but different interpretations and decide for yourself which tone/mood seems to fit better with these lyrics/poetry.

Symbolism

*We will first review the main concepts of symbolism by filling in our skeleton notes that coincides with the following prezi: https://prezi.com/s93r4tla1a7e/symbolism/

*Still confused?  Here is a video to reiterate the characteristics of symbolism, but explained in a different way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-F599mU6L4

*Before we read a passage with symbolism for one of tomorrow's station, you are going to reflect on the concept of symbolism by creating a symbol that represents you.

1). First choose to either create a symbol in the form of a:
      A) Flag
                     OR
      B) Tattoo
2). Your symbol needs to represent the following meaning/traits about you
      -A number that represents something important in your life.
      -At least one color (on than black/white) that represents a personal emotion
      -a group/family/club/society you associate with the most
      -a goal you have for the future
      -your top priority in your life/what you're most loyal to
3). Have the symbol drawn on one side of the page and the explanation on the back side.
        Example: -The green color on my flag represents my greed for money.
                         -The paw print represents my loyalty to me dog.
