Learning Objectives

Last week we took a look at how word choice, or diction, can play a role in your persuasive writing to appeal to readers. In this lesson we will focus on how word choice can also affect the tone of your persuasive writing as well.

By the end of this week, you will:

• review what tone is and how it is used in persuasive writing
• identify tone of various texts
• differentiate between active and passive voice in persuasive writing
• post to blog
