How do authors play to people's moods? After briefly reviewing mood using a Conditional and Subjunctive Mood handout, learners practice identifying conditional and subjunctive sentences in the Montgomery Bus Boycott speech before reading an editorial about integration into a high school. They then use an Analyzing Mediums graphic organizer to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of gaining information from text such as newspapers.
