Fourth period worked on three elements of an author’s (and individual selection’s) style:

• diction
• tone, and
• mood.

We looked at an example selection to see how the author manipulated words and phrases to create a specific mood and tone.

First, second, and seventh periods  began a couple of days of lessons dealing with the Holocaust in preparation for reading the Diary of Anne Frank.

All periods turned in the final draft of one or another projects.
