Focus: What complex tone does Foer develop throughout the novel? How?

1. Warming up with Name that Tone (click HERE for tone vocabulary)

• How are you feeling today? 
• Taking the Emoji Test.

2. Bringing it back to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

• Pick your favorite Oskar chapter. Highlight or type TEN words or phrases that reveal emotion. 
• Ex: "Reads in Dad's voice" "I could fall asleep" "it would sound like war" "I'm still wearing heavy boots" "a whole dead world could be underneath the living one" "things are extremely complicated" "if I could make him crack up, my boots would be a little lighter" "Is no clues a clue?" "What the?" "It was a message to me!" "I looked at the called ID and saw that it was him"

• Put them together like puzzle pieces to figure out the underlying tone: Which tone words most accurately capture this chapter?
• Tone words: Oskar shows candor, dismay, and ambition in the first chapter.
