We started today's class by discussing the tone of the Led Zeppelin song "Hot Dog" and how they use tone and diction in an attempt to make a country song. In our discussion, we noted how the tone is not entirely convincing with some lines and phrases feeling forced and having informal forms of diction worked into lines that feel more formal than they should. At the end of our discussion, we listened to the song (see below).
Everyone had the remaining time in the period to take the set two roots and prefixes quiz and the diction quiz. If you were not in class today, see me to make these quizzes up.
