  1. It’s December!!!! 24 more shopping days until Christmas! Sit in the seats with the card that applies to you.

  2. Do Now What do you think it means when someone refers to “tone” and “voice” in your writing? Explain your answer.

  3. Information • OMAM the Essay - major grade - Rough Draft Due today • Lunch passes to the library - available for lunch period only • After School hours - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday • OMAM Study Guides - currently at -30 points for being late

  4. Surmount – (v.) to overcome, rise above Synonyms – conquer, triumph over Antonyms – succumb to, be vanquished, be defeated

  5. Terminate – (v.) To bring to an end Synonyms - conclude, finish, discontinue Antonyms – begin, commence, initiate

  6. Do Now What do you think it means when someone refers to “tone” and “voice” in your writing? Explain your answer.

  7. Tone • Tone - manner in which the author expresses their attitude - can be detected by the words used - adjectives are helpful in establishing a tone EX: Think of the parent that says don’t get that tone (attitude) with me

  8. Voice • Voice - it is the way your writing sounds on the page - it includes the words used, the way they are used - develops a “tone” in your writing EX: You need to take out the garbage vs. When you have a chance, can you take out the garbage?

  9. Tone, Voice, and Persuasion • Together very important aspects of writing • Includes the words and general tone - like different music (angry, happy, etc…) • Using the wrong voice and tone - leads to an opinionated audience - will not be effective in persuading people • Use positive words to persuade rather than negative words

  10. Peer Review • Evaluate the completed rough draft - find errors with grammar, spelling, and facts • Evaluate the “tone” and “voice” - does it use positive language - does it give “attitude” • Make suggestions to improve it - stating, “this is great” doesn’t help the author
