Tone

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Identifying the tone in a piece of writing can be tricky. Readers don't have the advantage of studying the images and colors used in a painting or the instruments and sounds of a song. The second lesson in this poetry unit teaches tweens how to look closely at the words a poet chooses to identify the tone of the piece.
