SSR: 7 Minutes

▪ At end of 7 minutes, I’ll call for journal entry. You’ll receive 5 minutes to complete your journal!

Key Terms!

▪ Voice

▪ Tone

▪ Diction

▪ Syntax

▪ Imagery

▪ Infer/Inference

▪ As you define the terms, how might these apply to your quickwrite on pizza?

▪What do they tell us about you?

Making Inferences

▪ By making an inference, you’re drawing a conclusion based on the information provided for you (remember the song lyrics?)

▪ As I read Speaker 1’s view on pizza down at the bottom, I’d like you to mark the text, identifying diction, syntax, and imagery–Highlight in three different colors?–Circle, square, triangle?–Underline, squiggly, mountain?

Making Inferences: Page 6

▪ Based on what you marked, fill in the boxes for speaker 1 for diction, syntax, imagery and tone.

▪What might you be able to say about the speaker from the evidence you gathered? Write this in the Inferences box.

▪ Speak Out: What did the class say?

Page 7: Speakers 2, 3, 4

▪ With a partner, read the remaining speaker’s descriptions on pizza. Remember to highlight and annotate each speaker’s passage for diction, syntax, and imagery that help contribute to the voice and tone of the speaker.

▪ Once you’ve read and annotated, what inferences can you make about the speaker?
