SOAPSTone:
S - Subject / topic / issue of the text
O - Occasion - what is the context of the text? Consider time period, relevant events, and issues current to the text.
A - Audience who is this written for? How do you know?
P - Purpose - why did the author write this? What is his/her goal?
S - Speaker - who is Coben? How do you know? What else can you find out?
T- Tone - sarcastic, humble, bitter, convinced, unsure, reasonable, angry, immature, educated?

SOAPSTone:
  • Open the Undercover Parent article I shared with you on Tuesday. This is in your Shared With Me Folder in your Google Drive.
  • Open the SOAPSTone Document in Google Classroom.
  • With your partner, complete the SOAPSTone Document.   
  • Complete one document for each pair. 
  • (If you are absent you'll have to work on it on your own.)
Reminders: 
  • If you donate a can of food for the food drive you get an extra day to work on your book review before I grade it. 
  • Grading period ends Friday. I'll be grading all weekend, poor me.
