Assignment 4.2: Effective Editorial
2. Tone and Mood
When authors get their ideas on paper, it is often the final touches that bring a piece to life. This section will discuss the techniques used to elevate your writing from "just an assignment" to a piece of art that you are proud of.
The videos and activities below share the difference between Tone and Mood; which both convey emotion, however, from a different origin and for a different purpose.
As you watch these two videos, complete a graphic organizer (T-Chart, Venn Diagram), from the Graphic Organizer folder at the beginning of the course to differentiate between the two. You have already viewed the mood video in Assignment 3.1.
Practice identifying tone and mood in the worksheet below. For each example identify the tone, what context clues are used to convey the tone, and the overall mood of the sentence.
