INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES:

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:

  • Newspaper articles, essays, and other selected texts
  • Recorded materials (audio/video extracts)

INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES:
STEP 1:

  • The teacher introduces a series of passages from different text types (narrative, persuasive, and informative). Students are reminded to focus on identifying the mood, tone, and purpose.

STEP 2:

  • Students read the passages individually and identify the mood, tone, and purpose of each text.
  • The teacher provides a few guiding questions to help students analyze how the writer's choices (word selection, sentence structure, etc.) affect the text's overall message.

STEP 3:

  • Students work in small groups to discuss their findings. They compare their answers and discuss how the writer's tone, mood, and purpose influence the meaning of the passage.

STEP 4:

  • The teacher plays a final recorded material (audio or video) and asks students to analyze the mood, tone, and purpose. Students will then write a summary based on their analysis.

EVALUATION:

  • Students submit their written summaries, which should show their ability to clearly identify mood, tone, and purpose, as well as effectively summarize the passage.

CLASS-WORK:

  • Students work individually to read an article on “Education for All”, identify the mood, tone, and purpose, and write a 5-sentence summary.

  • Choose a passage or article of your choice, identify the mood, tone, and purpose, and write a 7-sentence summary.

CONCLUSION:

The teacher reviews the students' summaries, emphasizing how identifying mood, tone, and purpose can improve comprehension and writing skills. The teacher encourages students to practice analyzing texts in their free time.
