School Play Tune-Up

Students read a paragraph written in an informal tone because it uses in back of repeatedly. Their task is to rewrite the paragraph in a more formal style by replacing instances of in back of with behind where appropriate. This activity reinforces the importance of tone in academic writing and encourages learners to revise for clarity and professionalism. Students also practice paragraph-level editing, improving flow and style as they adjust informal expressions.
