Mood & Tone some moreThis time with LOVE songs…

Guidelines & Reminders

Today’s work will be done in groups while you are individually checking in with Ms. Furness.

This requires some cooperation and maturity on your part. Ms. Furness would like to give each of you the individual attention that you deserve, but that means she can’t be distracted with off task or inappropriate student behavior.

This means that you and your group members needs to regulate your volume and on task behavior.

This also means that HOTS is expected of you. You should not have the same tone for any of these songs!

Also: Today is meant to be enjoyable, but please remember school rules about ear buds (only ONE) and please save your singing for later!

Protocol

You and your group members will follow this protocol for each song:

1. Preview the lyrics by clicking on the link provided. You will do this SILENTLY and INDIVIDUALLY.

2. Then, make predictions about the tone by discussing and justifying together.

3. Listen to the song with ONE ear bud and remember, you are all doing this, so less talking/singing along, the better!

4. When you’re finished determine an appropriate tone for the song. Use TWO pieces of evidence to support the tone.

5. Then, select a logical mood for you, the listeners, based on the tone you selected.

These notes should be added to your Daily File and be ready go for class discussion tomorrow!
