• I can discuss the mood of an image and the
  effects on its audience.

Imagine you are an artist that wants to paint a
scene from The Charge of the Light Brigade
using paint and canvas. What part of the plot in
this narrative poem would you paint? Why? What
mood would you try to portray in that scene? What
evidence from the text did you use to come up
with the mood? Spend the next class period
creating it.

• Your painting is now hanging in the school
  hallway. Students are standing in front of your
  painting observing and thinking about it. They
  ask you to explain why you painted the scene the
  way you did. What will you tell them?
• Think about
• Why you chose certain colors?
• What mood were you trying to create? Why?
• What you felt while creating it?
• What you wanted your audience to feel when they
  looked at it?
• Why you chose that part of the plot over others?
• What would you write as a caption for your
  painting? Why?
• Be ready to share!
