Mood and Tone

In this worksheet, students read a poem focused on nature and highlight at least five words or phrases that reveal tone. They must label the tone and write sentences explaining how the selected words shape the poem’s mood. The activity teaches students to identify emotional cues in poetic language and track shifts in tone if they occur. This strengthens their ability to interpret subtle meaning and understand how diction influences the reader’s experience.
