Emotion Words to Express 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 or director's tone in a movie, documentary, or commercial or on the student's personal response to that media?  Here's a list of terms my students found helpful for writing about their reading. I think you'll find it a useful resource to pass along to your media buffs, too.

I've had the list so long, I don't recall the source.  But consider this my "thank you" to whoever pulled this list together.
