Memoir Writing
DONE is better than PERFECT...always remember that!
H/W - Compulsory
Homebase - Make sure you bring in your CWW packed travel gear for tomorrow.
Watch this video to help you practice tone and mood.
Optional: Test your parents - Ask them to item the 'tone' of this piece then ask them to discuss the
'mood'
As you read, you will notice the tone and mood shift from chapter to chapter or character to character. Great readers track how they feel as they read noting times when their emotions change or the tone of the text changes.
Reminders:
Hand in a printed copy of your first memoir tomorrow
Subjects and Predicates Test: Turn in your completed booklet for a grammar grade

Thank you for the extra practice, I'm pretty sure I am not the only one who needs it!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what the homework means, does it mean to just listen to the videos?
ReplyDeleteMr, Buxton,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the extra videos!
I was confused in class but it was really clear and concise here.
Thank you!

ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Buxton,
ReplyDeleteThis video really helped me. It explained how to find clues within the text for the tone and mood, which I think is extremely useful.
