Tone Transformer

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 to deepen their understanding of how tone shapes meaning in writing. Students begin with a single base prompt and rewrite it using four distinct tones-serious, funny, persuasive, and friendly-then reflect on how each version changes the message. Through rewriting and analysis, learners strengthen stylistic flexibility, emotional awareness in language, and intentional communication, especially when crafting prompts for AI.
