Tone Variations Answer Key

Students rewrite the same neutral prompt-“Explain how recycling works”-in five different tones: formal, casual, enthusiastic, urgent, and humorous. This activity highlights how tone affects wording, pacing, and style even while the core task stays the same. Through reflection, students consider which tone would give the clearest explanation, building awareness of tone’s impact on clarity and accessibility.
