Lesson 2.2: Context (Moodboard)

Coming up:
Lesson 3: Example presentation + Rubric
Lesson 4: Practice presentations / give feedback

Today's goal

At the end of this LessonUp, you will understand what is meant by the term "context" and you will have a clear idea of what you need to include on your moodboard

Lesson 2.2: Context

What is context?

Context refers to the background or details surrounding an event that occurs in literature. Details about the setting, a character's past, or even the time period of the story can help to set the context.  Understanding the context can help a reader to better understand and interpret the events of the plot.

For this task we will be focussing on "the setting" (the physical context)

Moodboard

WHY DO I HAVE TO MAKE A MOODBOARD?
The moodboard, together with your emotions chart, will help you "record" the storyline of your book.  This information will help you with (and needs to be used in) your presentation.

While reading:
Pay attention to where the story takes place and other important factors about key events/moments in the book. After each chapter (or series of chapters), find images to convey this information.  Add images to your moodboard as you read (and save your file!)

They were lost in a dark and mysterious forest.

It was a sunny day and there was only a light breeze on the lake.

The sun had been up for hours and it was gorgeous sunny day in the city.

After leaving the club they took a wrong turn and ended up in a dark alley.

The princess loved seeing the castle from afar, between the mountains and greenery.

Any questions on the Moodboard

(or Emotions chart)?

Moodboard

1.  Create a file "Moodboard" on your laptop
2. Create a folder “Reading Log” or "Book Project."  Save the "Moodboard" file in that folder.

3. Remember to save your work regularly!

Questions you may not have thought of...

1. Do I have to hand in my moodboard?

No, but you do need to use it in your video presentation by showing a few of the images and describing why they are important to the storyline of your book

I will do a moodboard check on Thursday, December 4th to check your progress

(one week before the final book video presentation deadline)

2. How do I copy online images?

Press "Shift + Command + 4" and select the part of the image you want to copy with your cursor

Then "copy/paste" to your moodboard

3. Do I have to hand in my Emotions chart?

Yes (in Learnbeat), on the same day you hand in your video presentation

Thursday, Dec. 11th - Deadline for everything: Video (incl. Moodboard) & Emotions chart
