Review the values you identified from looking at common rules our society follows. Which values do you feel are cultural assets? Which ones are ones we should think about more carefully? Explain your response.
After everyone had a chance to respond to this prompt we discussed students answers. We will be looking at the idea of values and how they are practiced in society as we continue with our discussion of The Giver.
We will be using tone to look at how Lois Lowry comments on social values in The Giver so we began to identify what tone is and how it is used in writing. In class we had a series of activities where people worked with portraying different kinds of tone. I provided some materials on tone to guide this work (see below).
Handouts:
Tone definition and examples
Kinds of Tone
Homework:
Finish your short writing piece (5-8 sentences) using a positive or negative tone (refer to the tone sheet for different possible tones). This can be based on your activity card or a made up story of your own design.
