Model Lesson Plan ( I Do)
See Tone vs. Mood in flip.
Create t-chart for tone and mood.
Mood is the feeling the author creates through his or her choice
of words. The reader senses the mood by thinking about how words
and details make them feel.
Tone refers to the attitude of the author or speaker, and it is
also created by word choice. Many times, we can think about tone in
writing the same way we think about the tone of someones voice.
How can authors create tone and mood? List responses on
board.
Authors use emotion words and visuals to create tone and mood
for the reader.
The pictures are essential to the narrative. Without them, there
is no story. This is not necessarily the case in other kinds of
stories.
For example, if someone gave you a book that happened to contain
pictures and you decided to just read the words, would you be able
to tell what the story meant? Would you be able to identify the
authors tone, or attitude toward the subject? Would you be able to
appreciate the storys beauty? You probably would.
However, if you also looked at the pictures and heard someone
read the words aloud, you might better understand and appreciate
the story. You could witness on the page the beautiful scenes of a
tale set in the Old West. You could hear your teacher demonstrate
how to whisper so quietly that even a sleeping giant wouldnt
wake!

The Little Match Girl
by
Hans Christian Andersen
(1846)
Twas terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the
old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and the
darkness, a poor little girl, with bare head and naked feet, roamed
through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when
she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large,
so large, indeed, that they had belonged to her mother, and the
poor little creature had lost them in running across the street to
avoid two carriages that were rolling along at a terrible rate. One
of the slippers she could not find, and a boy seized upon the other
and ran away with it, saying that he could use it as a cradle, when
he had children of his own. So the little girl went on with her
little naked feet, which were quite red and blue with the cold. In
an old apron she carried a number of matches, and had a bundle of
them in her hands. No one had bought anything of her the whole day,
nor had anyone given her even a penny. Shivering with cold and
hunger, she crept along; poor little child, she looked the picture
of misery. The snowflakes fell on her long, fair hair, which hung
in curls on her shoulders, but she regarded them not.
Lights were shining from every window, and there was a savory
smell of roast goose, for it was New-years eveyes, she remembered
that. In a corner, between two houses, one of which projected
beyond the other, she sank down and huddled herself together. She
had drawn her little feet under her, but she could not keep off the
cold; and she dared not go home, for she had sold no matches, and
could not take home even a penny of money. Her father would
certainly beat her; besides, it was almost as cold at home as here,
for they had only the roof to cover them, through which the wind
howled, although the largest holes had been stopped up with straw
and rags. Her little hands were almost frozen with the cold. Ah!
perhaps a burning match might be some good, if she could draw it
from the bundle and strike it against the wall, just to warm her
fingers. She drew one outscratch! how it sputtered as it burnt! It
gave a warm, bright light, like a little candle, as she held her
hand over it. It was really a wonderful light. It seemed to the
little girl that she was sitting by a large iron stove, with
polished brass feet and a brass ornament. How the fire burned! and
seemed so beautifully warm that the child stretched out her feet as
if to warm them, when, lo! the flame of the match went out, the
stove vanished, and she had only the remains of the half-burnt
match in her hand.
She rubbed another match on the wall. It burst into a flame, and
where its light fell upon the wall it became as transparent as a
veil, and she could see into the room. The table was covered with a
snowy white table-cloth, on which stood a splendid dinner service,
and a steaming roast goose, stuffed with apples and dried plums.
And what was still more wonderful, the goose jumped down from the
dish and waddled across the floor, with a knife and fork in its
breast, to the little girl. Then the match went out, and there
remained nothing but the thick, damp, cold wall before her.
She lighted another match, and then she found herself sitting
under a beautiful Christmas-tree. It was larger and more
beautifully decorated than the one which she had seen through the
glass door at the rich merchants. Thousands of tapers were burning
upon the green branches, and colored pictures, like those she had
seen in the show-windows, looked down upon it all. The little one
stretched out her hand towards them, and the match went out.
The Christmas lights rose higher and higher, till they looked to
her like the stars in the sky. Then she saw a star fall, leaving
behind it a bright streak of fire. Someone is dying, thought the
little girl, for her old grandmother, the only one who had ever
loved her, and who was now dead, had told her that when a star
falls, a soul was going up to God.
She again rubbed a match on the wall, and the light shone round
her; in the brightness stood her old grandmother, clear and
shining, yet mild and loving in her appearance. Grandmother, cried
the little one, O take me with you; I know you will go away when
the match burns out; you will vanish like the warm stove, the roast
goose, and the large, glorious Christmas-tree. And she made haste
to light the whole bundle of matches, for she wished to keep her
grandmother there. And the matches glowed with a light that was
brighter than the noon-day, and her grandmother had never appeared
so large or so beautiful. She took the little girl in her arms, and
they both flew upwards in brightness and joy far above the earth,
where there was neither cold nor hunger nor pain, for they were
with God.
In the dawn of morning there lay the poor little one, with pale
cheeks and smiling mouth, leaning against the wall; she had been
frozen to death on the last evening of the year; and the New-years
sun rose and shone upon a little corpse! The child still sat, in
the stiffness of death, holding the matches in her hand, one bundle
of which was burnt. She tried to warm herself, said some. No one
imagined what beautiful things she had seen, nor into what glory
she had entered with her grandmother, on New-years day.

Promethus
Promethus was stronger than a storm and smarter than a snake,
but some said he was a trouble maker.
The god Zeus didnt want human beings to have any power. Never
give humans fire. Zeus said. But, they need it.They cant cook.
Theyre cold. Promethus replied.
Promethus could see the people suffering. I HAVE to help. He
thought.
One night, Promethus climbed up and lit a torch from the Suns
fire. He carried the torch back down the mountain and passed it to
the people.
You saved us! The people shouted.
When Zeus found out, he wasnt happy. How dare you disobey me! He
shouted at Promethus.
Zeus chained poor Promethus to a rock. Suffer for all time! He
shouted. An eagle swooped down and attacked Promethus. Every day,
the eagle came back. Promethus was immortal, which meant that he
could not die. So, he felt the same awful pain for hundreds of
years.
Finally, Promethus was rescued by his cousin, Hercules. Hercules
shot the eagle.
Promethus was finally free. I thought I was going to be there
forever! He was weary and suffered greatly.
However, his act of bravery and kindness had given people light
and heat.
