There was a substitute in for me for today's class. Everyone was learning about and working with diction (word choice) and how diction can affect tone in writing. In this work, we looked specifically at the denotation and connotation that words can have and how that changes the tone of an author's writing.
After practicing with this, everyone looked at a passage from The Giver and analyzed it's use of diction.
