Voice

Voice is made up of the feelings, words, and tone in someone's writing.
Voice changes depending on your ROLE (who you are) and your AUDIENCE (whom you are talking to).

Today we explored how our voice changes with different audiences: with friends versus with the principal of the school.

We also looked at what makes Annie John's voice. What feelings, words, and tone characterize Annie John's voice? Reading page 61 and page 42, we identified them.

Choose a sentence in your essay that sounds like Annie's voice. What feelings, words, and tone make it sound like her?

Choose a sentence that does not sound like Annie's voice. What do you need to change? Feelings? Words? Tone?
