1. 9.15. We are going to start off with your vocabulary quiz. Please take out a piece of paper and write your name on the top. When you are done, pick up a Tone handout, read through the sheet and look up any words you don’t know on the first page only.

2. Tone Challenge In pairs you will read a selection of passages. While reading, highlight or underline the words which seem important to you and to the meaning of the passage. Consider the highlighted words to decide which tone or tones these words might suggest. Use your tone sheet. Next to or under each passage write a sentence or two that explains your selection(s).

3. The Odyssey by Homer "I shall throw you on a black ship and send you to the mainland, to King Echetos, destroyer of all mortal men, who will cut off your nostrils and ears with a sharp bronze sword; he will tear off your private parts and give them to the dogs to eat raw." SAMPLE ANSWER: THREATENING--In this excerpt, one of Homer's characters makes dire threats against another. The key to classifying a tone as "threatening" is the possibility or promise of negative action against the subject.
