Word Choice and Purpose (website)

Six+1 Trait Model (website)
  • The intent of this standard is that students make intentional word choices.
  • Writers need to be aware of their task, purpose, and audience to communicate effectively.
  • Word choice can affect mood and tone.
    • Mood is the atmosphere or predominant emotion in a literary work. In choosing appropriate vocabulary, students should consider what mood they, the writers, want to evoke.  
    • Tone is the writer or speaker’s attitude toward a subject, character or audience conveyed through the author’s choice of words and detail.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
