Tone and Mood How did the passage make you feel? Depressed? Lazy? Scared? That is MOOD my friend!!!

Tone and Mood Your child can’t read? Can’t do math? Well, maybe he or she has been spending to much time in school and not enough watching television! Kids in school aren’t learning anything anyway, so they might as well be home watching TV.
