        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of how the author's use of language contributes to the voice in a text


        Students begin by determining characters' tone based on the context of a passage and determining point of view based on clues in a sentence.


        The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on examining the author's word choice and how it effects the voice in a text.


        In the first instructional block students examine the authors use of word choice and sentence structure to determine the voice of a passage.


        In the second instructional block students identify a change in the author's voice during a passage and examine how that strategy is used to indicate something is about to happen in the text.


        Passages are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support deeper understanding and allow students to practice the skill in context.
