Lesson 1: Introduction to Tone and Language in Informational Texts

Completion requirements
  • Objective: Understand the concepts of tone and language in informational texts.

    2. Define purpose: Purpose is the reason why the author wrote the text, whether to inform, persuade, entertain, or explain.
    3. Discuss how language choices (e.g., formal or informal, emotive or neutral) contribute to tone and purpose.
    4. Provide examples of different tones (e.g., serious, sarcastic, optimistic, critical) and purposes (e.g., to inform, to persuade).
    5. Choose a news article (assigned by the teacher or from a list) and read it carefully.
