If Bella chews the shoes in my closet again, the dog will have destroyed a universe of footwear. She has consumed over five pairs of sneaks, two high heels, and eleven and a half socks.

  3. “What are you doing?”

  4. Group Chart Do Now! Guiding Questions Notes & Anchor Chart

  5. Guiding Questions 1. Why and how does language construct perspective and tone? 2. Why and how do I identify slanters(bias) in writing? 3. How do I revise to eliminate bias?

  6. I. Tone Top Three Misconceptions: It’s NOT an action. It’s an attitude. It’s NOT stated or direct. To feel it, you have to read “between the lines.” Tone is not the same thing as mood. (Mood=feelings or emotions the author wanted the reader to feel. Tone= author’s own attitude towards the subject. )

  7. II. Slanters Review

  8. II. Slanters Review

  11. III. Eliminate bias • Either for homework or in class (time permitting), select three passages to revise to eliminate bias. • Eliminate bias in the selection.

  12. Anchor Chart • The purpose of the anchor chart is: • To recall as much as possible that has been learned during class. • To fill in gaps • To “Anchor” learning so that it stays with you. • To prepare for Exit Slips.
