Tone, Mood, and Voice (For Kids)
Tone, Mood, and Voice (For Kids) with Jenn Woolf: How to create a mood, find your voice and set the tone for your story. Terrified, alarmed, or horrified? When we speak, we are able to change our intonation, our facial expressions, and gestures. However, when we write, we must rely on the words themselves to convey our tone. The same goes for setting the mood. How do we want the reader to feel? How do we choose our words to create the atmosphere we want our readers to inhabit? And where does voice come in? Is it different if you’re writing in the first person or the third? Join me as we play around with mood, tone, and voice. We’ll look at some examples and then get to work writing our own pieces. This class is for third through sixth graders. Jenn Woolf is the founder of The Children’s Creative Writing Institute and FigurativeWriting.com.
