Tone Match Rewrite Answer Key

In this worksheet, students read sentences in which the tone does not logically match the event taking place. Their task is to rewrite each sentence so that the tone appropriately fits the situation. This requires students to think critically about emotional cues, word choice, and realistic responses to events. By revising mismatched sentences, students deepen their understanding of how tone influences meaning. The activity also reinforces narrative clarity by encouraging learners to choose vocabulary that accurately conveys mood and intention. As they rewrite each line, students build stronger editing and style-adjustment skills.
