  1. Today’s Necessary Materials: journal, writing utensil, highlighter, and Spring Board text. Have your vocabulary assignment out on your desk. Describe a memorable event from the first day of school (any school year). Describe the setting, event, and reaction to the event. Entry Task 9.24

  2. Voice in Fiction • “Voice” is the voice of the narrator, not necessarily the author. • Author’s will take on different personae, even in 3rd person narration, so the voice you interpret and analyze may not be the actual author’s. • 1st person: voice is that of the character telling the story. The personae, beliefs, experiences, and tone are all a part of the characterization. • 3rd person: the narrator has its own personae and tone. Many make the assumption it is the author, but you can’t necessarily prove that, but you can refer to the narrator, and make claims about the narrator’s voice.

  3. Tone • Tone in narratives and fiction is similar to the tone of speaking and non-fiction: it’s related to how the narrator feels towards the subject/character/situation. It can change throughout the story, just as our tones change depending on where we are, what we’re dealing with, and who is around us.

  4. Open your text to page 8. • When you are annotating the text, instead of any type of responses, I want you to annotate with “commentary.” • Possible lead ins… • “The diction/imagery/syntax creates a tone of…towards…” • “The diction/imagery/syntax creates a very distinctive voice by…” • “This specific word choice is significant because…” • Do not just annotate with “hmmm, this is interesting.”

  5. Activity While Reading After Reading Below the text, answer the following questions. Melinda has a vivid inner voice. What is significant, then, about the fact that she never actually speaks in this passage? • Highlight “trigger text” and annotate with your analysis statements.

  6. Homework • Check your understanding: in your journal, answer the following prompt. • Anderson was 38 when Speak was published, yet she captures a teen girl’s voice through her diction, syntax, and imagery. To explore how, choose three quotes you think sound particularly authentic, and write a paragraph response that explains the development of the narrator’s teen voice. Claim: “Laurie Halse Anderson created a distinctive voice for her teenage narrator that is evident throughout the passage.” Your concluding sentence needs to be a statement about the effect of creating that specific voice.

  7. Choices to do homework • Your textbook is available online. You need to go to Northshorewa.springboardonline.org • Register, using the class code: PXLDIE • You will need to set up a password- I recommend using your school password (if you can) so you don’t forget it. • If the textbook won’t open in Firefox, try an alternate internet browser. • You can also take your text home for tonight, and if there’s a chance your internet will be down, you need to have a contingency plan.
