AfL: Developing Written Tone Throughout this lesson, we've focused on the difference between formal and informal writing, and we've also explored voice and tone. Now it's your turn to do some writing that considers your audience and purpose, demonstrates your ability to shift from informal to formal writing, and allows you to play with voice and tone in order to communicate effectively, keep your audience's attention, and meet the needs of your audience. We'll do this in a light-hearted way that has you writing two emails: one to a friend and one to your teacher. This activity gives you the opportunity to share your current writing skills with your teacher but in a low-risk way, because this assignment does not count towards your final course grade. Activity Instructions For this activity, you will do the following: 1. Write two separate emails-one to your teacher and one to your friend-explaining why you did not submit an assignment in your English class. o Each email should be about a 1/2 page in length, double-spaced, so be concise! 2. Consider the purpose and audience for each email and develop an appropriate voice and tone within each email. Keep in mind where formal and informal communication are appropriate. o Both emails should convey your personal, authentic voice, so consider how they need to change to meet your audience's needs. 3. Keep the topic and general facts of each email the same even though the audiences differ. o Make up the details, but ensure that these details are appropriate for a school assignment. Have fun with it and be creative! 4. Upload your two emails to the Developing Written Tone dropbox to receive feedback from your teacher. Important Remember the elements and techniques that can be used to develop voice and tone.
