We have been working with tone for the last few weeks in class, and it is time to start utilizing tone in your writing.
Before we begin, please recall that tone is the overall “attitude” or “feel” of a writing piece. Tone is made up of three main components: 1) Diction 2) Imagery 3) Figurative language. So, as you complete the task listed below be sure to utilize these three writing strategies.
Your Task Today:
Compose a blog entry in which you utilize tone. Describe a time you and a friend went to a sporting event that started off really fun, but quickly turned sour. Write two paragraphs. The first paragraph should be in a “happy” tone and the second in a “negative” or “upset tone.” Use Diction, Imagery, and Figurative Language to create the tone.
(Note: If you cannot think of a time when you and your friends went to a sporting event, make one up!)
Rubric for Writing in Tone:
Proficient – 2 paragraphs entered in class blog about their experience in a sports event, the 1st paragraph is composed in a happy tone, the second in a sad tone – students should utilize words, images, and fig language to create a specific tone, each paragraph is a least 5 sentences.
Non- Proficient – less than 2 paragraphs, paragraphs do not differ in tone, and students do not use words, images, and fig language to their advantage, each paragraph is less than 5 sentences.

one day my friend and i had went to go to the cowboys game. were huge cowboys fans! as we woke up with excitment me and him had a delicious breakfast and then started to get out jerseys on and go to the game to root for our team like like kids cheering on a fight. we got the car and ready to go, we both had butterflies, and we started making fun of all the philly teams liker the eagles and the phillies !
so half we there the car started to leak, my jaw dropped i went from excited to sad and in a bad mood! we couldnt go, i was so astonished, my day had been ruined!
It all started last week up to today. melissa and i went to a baseball game it was so awesome. We bought hotdogs,drinks,candy and all that other good stuff! We were waiting for everyone to take their seats. As always we were talking then they started and we started to get excited about the teams.
We watched the whole game and were laughin and what not. Then the game started getting serious up to the last winning hit. It turns out that melissa and i were rivals! We were rooting for different teams. We started getting so mad at eachother. Soon after the game was over we stopped talkin to eachtoher just because of a stupid baseball game. Recently she came over not that long ago and decided that the whole thing was so stupid and we made up. And now we're the best of friends just like old times:)
