Review Cultural Identity Texts What moves/techniques do you see the writer doing? Ex: Diction/Imagery/Speaker How does the piece reveal the speaker’s identity? What are some values/beliefs that the speaker has?

Writing Tips Telling Sentence: It was an unusual cat. Showing Sentence: With yellow eyes glowing red, long, black fur that stood on end, a mouth full of sharp pointed teeth that emitted a yowl like a tiger, I knew that the small animal before me was no ordinary cat.
