1. Compose a short paragraph about anything at all: a class, a game, a test, an event, a moment, a dream, etc.
Create a mood, by developing a diction/imagery with strong connotations that are either positive or negative.

2. Now, classify the intended mood of your paragraph. How, specifically, did you evoke this mood in your reader?
Reference connotations, diction (word choice), imagery, setting, ideas, etc. [you’re composing a literary analysis
of your own work]
