  1. Settle in
  2. Review of Mood Stations
  3. New Stations: Dystopian settings
  4. Brainstorm Web-- mood in the center
    1. How can we describe the mood of 1984? 1st tier bubbles off the main idea with mood words; e.g. oppression
    2. Add 2nd tier bubbles with the elements of the text that help create this mood; e.g. language (off the 1st tier of fearful)
      1. You might also have other elements off this tier-- the telescreen also creates a mood of oppression.
    3. Add 3rd tier bubbles with details from the text that help develop this mood; e.g. Newspeak (off the 2nd tier of language)
HOMEWORK
Continue adding to your web. Try to add at least 15 more items. It's ok to have items repeated in multiple places.
