Objective:By the end of class, students will be assessed on author's style in order to improve reading comprehension skills.

What is OBJECTIVE TONE compared to SUBJECTIVE TONE? Name three words that could describe the tone of a passage.
Direct Instruction
Powerpoint on style.
How to CONSTRUCT a constructed response. In other words, how should it be "set up"?
Example: Evaluate Krakauer's style of writing for Into Thin Air and provide examples from the text.
1. Restate. Krakauer's style of writing for Into Thin Air is straight-forward.
2. Identify a few devices that contribute to style. I say this because of Krakauer's tone, diction and sentence structure.
3. Give an example of each device and how it contributes to style.
For example, Krakauer's sentence structure is simple. The sentences are somewhat short and to the point. Events are told in chronological order which makes it easy to follow. Although the events that he tells of are morbid, his tone in retelling this story is very mater-of -fact. For example, of this tragic event, he simply says, "I'd never seen death at close range. And there was so much of it. Eleven men and women..." Finally, diction....
