Due Friday 2/24: Newspaper Article worth 5 Land!

If you were absent on Wednesday, you need to read the story of Prometheus and Io in your books, and add this to your notes. The assignment that is due on Friday is explained in a link at the bottom of this post.

We also took notes on voice in writing:

Voice

What are some things you can tell about someone based on their spoken voice?

Written voice is influence by:
 Pronouns used
 Vocabulary used (slang vs. formal)
 Sentence structures and lengths

Formal Voice:
 Avoids slang and casual sounding words.
 Avoids using all personal pronouns like “I, me, you,
your, we, and our” in order to appeal to all readers.
 Similar to third-person point of view.

There are many examples of betrayal that occur in Greek Mythology.

Semi-Formal Voice:

 Avoids slang
 Can include the pronouns “I” and “me”.
 Avoids the use of “you” and “your” so that it does not “talk” to the reader.
 Similar to first person point of view.

 I can find many examples of betrayal in the stories of Greek Mythology.

Informal Voice:

 Allows all school appropriate words.
 Allows all pronouns
 May be important for dialog.

I am going to tell you like a ton of examples of betrayal in Greek Mythology.
