Emotion Words for Tone and Mood

[Anna J. Small Roseboro]

Do you find it tough trying to get yours students to be more precise and use just the right word to express their observations about the author's tone in piece of writing or the student's personal response to that work?  Here's a list of terms my students found helpful.  I've had it so long, I don't recall the source.  But consider this my "thank you" to whoever pulled this list together.

EMOTION WORDS to express TONE and MOOD.

Enjoy!
