  1. Voice and Conventions rubrics Looking closer at tone, commas, and fanboys for compound sentences.

  2. What does it mean to give a piece of writing a voice? • 1st- let’s explore what it means to have a tone. • Tone is a literary element of composition, which encompasses the attitudes toward the subject and toward the audience implied in a literary work.[1] Tone may be formal, informal, intimate, solemn, somber, playful, serious, ironic, condescending, or many other possible attitudes. Each piece of literature has at least one theme, or central question about a topic, and how the theme is approached within the work is known as the tone. • Difference between tone and mood. • Tone and mood are not the same, although variations of the two words may on occasions be interchangeable terms. The tone of a piece of literature is the speaker's or narrator's attitude towards the subject, rather than what the reader feels, as in mood. Mood is the general feeling or atmosphere that a piece of writing creates within the reader. Mood is produced most effectively through the use of setting, theme, voice and tone.

  3. Example of tone • I can’t believe you said that in front of Mr. Humpry. He looked at you like you were dumb. Don’t talk your nonsense in front of adults in a store like that again. If you’re not sure about something ask me first before you go blurting out your silly made up ideas. I felt like yelling “Shut the hell up you crazy frizzhead.” And stop that crying cuz Momma’s gonna tell you the same thing. You are so stupid. Twinkies are made from fat the filling isn’t made from clouds! • What is the mood? • What is the tone? • How are they different, and how are they similar. • See Venn diagram.

  5. Fanboys • For, and, nor, but, or, yet, so • Create a poster using one of the conjunctions and create a sentence that is compound using a comma. • Directions: Watch the video and create sentences using active verbs and conjunctions before creating your example poster. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZQOyiHDptU • Example: Use two ideas and create a sentence using a conjunction “and”.
