Tone Analysis Exercise

Students read a descriptive paragraph and determine its tone using one precise word. They then identify the specific descriptions that create this tone and analyze how sentence structure contributes to the overall effect. Learners must consider elements such as pacing, detail order, and imagery. This activity strengthens analytical reading skills and helps students recognize how writers intentionally shape tone. Students develop a deeper understanding of how description and structure work together to influence reader perception.
