3. Learning Targets
I can identify how tone and meaning affects the author’s meaning of a passage.
I can cite evidence from the informational text “Forgotten Ship” to explain the evacuation of refugees.
I can analyze the word choices in two texts and compare how tone affects meaning.

4. Practice: Do a quick check…
Can you restate the following but remove the tone?
“the ship could sink, unable to hold the piles of bodies that keep crawling on like raging ants from a disrupted nest”
“Thousands found out about the navy ships ready to abandon the navy”
If the answer is yes = then there is tone
If the answer is no, you based the emotion on the situation, not the tone of the word choice.

5. Notes: How do I explain what I am trying to say
Notes: How do I explain what I am trying to say? (explaining tone reasoning)
The words “_________________” make me feel _________________ because ____________. Therefore, the tone of the text is _______________ because/and ____________.
Example: The words “raging like ants” make me feel threatened because rage is heightened anger. Therefore, the tone of the text is harsh or angry and “raging” ants are definitely negative in tone, adding to the negative situation Ha and her family are in.

6. 2. The author chooses to use the words “_________” because it gives a tone of __________. This tone adds to the meaning of the passage because Ha’s family is _______________ and the tone adds the _______________.
