The mood of a piece of writing is its general atmosphere or the array of feelings the work evokes in the reader. Every aspect of a piece of writing can influence its mood, from the setting and the imagery to the author's word choice.

► These Mood Graphic Organizers are an assortment of graphic organizers that can be used to help students explore and analyze MOOD in a piece of writing or story**.**

► Learning to identify the mood of a piece of literature helps improve comprehension. These graphic organizers vary in difficulty, which provides options for differentiation. The graphic organizers can be mixed and matched for an increase of difficulty. These graphic organizers can help students organize their thoughts when thinking about mood.

Graphic Organizers focus on the following:

⭐ Mood created by Setting

⭐ Determining Mood using Diction (Author's Word Choice), Imagery, and Setting

⭐ Inferring Mood using Details (including Character Actions)

⭐ Examples of Mood and Evidence

⭐ Why an Author Creates Particular Moods in a Piece of Work

⭐ Mood Impact on Readers

This is a novel study of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet. In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students.

In this novel study, students will practice central idea/supporting details, writing summaries, citing evidence from a text, making inferences, analyzing figures of speech, describing story elements, cause/effect text structure, problem/solution text structure, and multiple opportunities to practice discussions with their classmates.

A large part of this novel study is discussion-based. I have included a slide on the slideshow where you will put your classroom expectations for discussions. There are also times for the introduction to the chapter, you will start with a whole group discussion. (I would maybe recommend turn and talks if you use groups in your classroom)

I hope you enjoy it. Please send me any questions that you may have and please rate and review.

While students watch the 1978 Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry movie, they will fill out the Venn Diagram on the front and answer movie analysis questions on the back. Finally, they will use the information on the Venn Diagram, their answers to the questions, and their knowledge of the novel to answer a paragraph response question.

Graphic organizers can be helpful in being visual aids when students are writing.

• Helps students focus on their thoughts for planning, decision-making, and writing an essay

• Helps students see the connections, patterns, and relationships between facts, concepts, and ideas 

• Organizers provide a visual depiction for writers by showing them where each piece of the essay is placed within an essay

Venn Diagrams show the relationship between two ideas. A venn diagram can have two or more circles. When the circles overlap, the venn diagram shows the similarities between the two or more ideas. In the spaces where the circles do not overlap, it shows the differences between the two or more ideas.

I hope your students/children enjoy this compare & contrast by understanding the importance of why a graphic organizer is needed, as well as understanding the variables of a Venn Diagram.

Venn Diagram Graphic Organizer is in Google Slides, Powerpoint, and PDF formats.

Happy Writing!
