11. Working with Tone
Consider: Look over the grid below and with a partner, say each “right”
out loud, emphasizing the attitude each suggests. .
Right?
Is this right?
Right!
You’re absolutely right.
This won’t happen.
Right.
I heard you, but I don’t believe you.
Turn right, not left!
Apply: with your partner, create a similar chart, but for a different word that can have the same conveyance of attitude. .
Remember: Tone is more than what is said, it’s how it is said. We create tone in writing through the elements of voice: Diction, Imagery, Detail, Syntax… .
