2. Tone and Mood
When authors get their ideas on paper, it is often the final touches that bring a piece to life. This section will discuss the techniques used to elevate your writing from "just an assignment" to a piece of art that you are proud of.
The videos and activities below share the difference between Tone and Mood; which both convey emotion, however, from a different origin and for a different purpose.
As you watch these two videos, complete a graphic organizer (T-Chart, Venn Diagram), from the Graphic Organizer folder at the beginning of the course to differentiate between the two. You have already viewed the mood video in Assignment 3.1.
Practice identifying tone and mood in the worksheet below. For each example identify the tone, what context clues are used to convey the tone, and the overall mood of the sentence.
*DO NOT submit the practice activities
3. Colloquial Language
Colloquial Language is informal language used in everyday speech.
Slang is informal language used by certain groups of people which is created by its users and is more informal than colloquial speech.
Neither are appropriate in academic writing (unless they serve a distinct and measurable purpose in your writing. For example: in dialogue)
Review and practice editing Colloquialisms here. Do not submit this practice activity.
