After watching a short film on the Lewis and Clark expedition, we examined the use of language to describe the trip. A minority group, say Native Americans, might use a different set of terms.

Writers practiced using tone in their writing today. Different tables were assigned tones and had to write about how they would describe a woman walking her dog through a park.

This table had fun using an angry tone.

This table had to use an academic tone. Not surprisingly, some humor leaked into the academic tone.
