Product Description

This activity requires students to analyze six passages from chapters 11-18 of the novel that are ripe for a discussion on how writers create tone and mood using literary devices.
I just taught it today (1/22), and it was probably the best lesson I've taught so far this semester. I used it for my AP Lit & Comp classes, but it can easily be used and/or modified for the college preparatory classroom.
