Summary
This lesson remixes an original lesson created by Govind Lingam entitled "Teach Design: Mood Board." In this movement-inclusive lesson, students will conduct an art-based anticipatory activity that introduces them to the close-reading process with a special emphasis on mood and imagery. They will then transition to a close-reading of a small passage from Jekyll & Hyde in order to demonstrate how our understanding of a passage changes with each new read as well as to gain a clearer understanding of how specific details function in a larger narrative.
