  1. Things Fall Apart: F 1/16 Points about the ending (10 mins) Writing about TONE and MOOD (10 mins) Understanding oral presentations (5 mins) Work time (45 minutes) HOMEWORK: Hand in your GLOSSARY. Work on ORAL presentation for next week. FRIDAY: Work Day. NEXT WEEK: Present.

  2. TONE and MOOD TONE:THIS CHANGES!! This describe the WRITER. The author’s attitude about the subject at hand. Objective Humorous Pessimistic Angry Informal Playful Cheerful Ironic Pompous Horror Light Sad Serious Formal Resigned Suspicious Gloomy Optimistic Witty MOOD: THIS CHANGES!! This describes the FEEL of the writing, the emotional atmosphere of a text Fanciful Melancholy Frightening Mysterious Frustrating Romantic Gloomy Sentimental Happy Sorrowful Joyful Suspenseful YOU WORK OUT TONE AND MOOD BY ANALYZING THE DICTION, IMAGERY, SETTING, DIALOGUE, PLOT ETC. How would you describe Achebe’s TONE at the end of the novel? What is the MOOD in chapter 25?

  3. TONE and MOOD SATIRICAL – undermining idea of Western ethnography / phrenology “Primitive” – reveals shallowness. Shows more about him than about Igbo. “Pacification” – IRONY! Promoted unrest! Colonization = WAR…not ‘civilising’ STRUCTURE – story within a story. Importance of STORY-TELLING in promoting imperialism. JUXTAPOSITION in attitudes – Achebe’s whole book; “a reasonable paragraph” Connection with UNOKA “Their love of superfluous words”

  4. WRITING RESPONSE – 10 minutes - MINOR What is the role of stories or storytellers in the book, and how does this connect to Achebe’s role in writing Things Fall Apart? What is the function of dialogue, song and conversely silence in this novel? With whom do the reader’s sympathies lie in the end? What is the impact of the complex merging of Western literary form and ‘African English’, or Igbo expressions? What is your response to the ending? Bring in tone and mood.

  5. ORAL PRESENTATIONS Do you need rubrics? Look in the folder. Knowledge, Language Analysis, Organisation, Your Language. Establish a strong overarching structure – provide wisdom over the course of the novel. Also have effective structure within your OWN segment. Get ANALYTICAL with the language. How will you do this? The THEME bit at the end…doesn’t have to be solely related to your character. Power pose, people! Play the ogene. Wrestle.
