Book Room for a copy of //Warriors Don't Cry//. If you were gone, you need to go to the book room and get a copy by the end of the week.

Journals are due on Thursday for P.2/3 and Friday for P.6. I'm not giving you a list of what I'm grading--it's all up for grabs--so make sure you've completed all warm ups, journal entries, notes, and homework assignments I asked you do in your journal. Use the website to check your work.

Setting/Mood:

Watch: Mary Poppins: first two minutes or so of the original trailer []

What adjectives describe how we're supposed to feel about the movie? What mood are we supposed to be in or to expect from the movie?

Watch: Scary Mary--a different approach to Mary Poppins []

What adjectives describe how we're supposed to feel about this version? What mood does the director create?

What do directors used to create mood? What do authors use to achieve the same thing?

Discuss: What are adjectives that create a “mood”? Class brainstorm on board. What are locations that set up a story? Class brainstorm on board.

J: Mood and Setting

1) Select a specific setting, and spend the next 5 minutes using descriptive language to set the scene in order to create a specific mood.

2) Now spend 5 minutes setting the same scene in a totally different mood.

HW: No homework unless your Memoir Map is incomplete. Be ready to write in class next time I see you.
