English I Honors EA1: Writing and Presenting an Interview Narrative You will define a specific interview plan in Activity 1.12, but you need to start thinking about whom you eventually want to interview. Strategize: to plan the actions you will take to complete a task. p. 55 Scoring Guide Describe an incident from an interviewee’s college experience that influenced his or her coming of age. Incorporate vivid examples from the three descriptive categories (appearance, actions, and speech). Present an interviewee’s unique point of view by conveying his or her distinct character. Follow a logical organizational structure for the genre by orienting the reader, using transitions, and maintaining a consistent point of view. Use descriptive language, telling details, and vivid imagery to convey a strong sense of the interviewee’s voice. Embed direct and indirect quotations smoothly. Demonstrate correct spelling and excellent command of standard English conventions.

Talking about Voice Voice—a writer’s (or speaker’s) distinctive use of language to express his or her ideas as well as persona. Tone + Diction + Syntax + Imagery = Voice Tone—a writer’s or speaker’s attitude toward the subject. Tone is conveyed through the person’s choice of words and detail. Tone is easier to figure out when someone is speaking versus written text. Diction—Word choice intended to convey a certain effect. Syntax—Sentence structure; the arrangement of words and the order of grammatical elements in a sentence. Imagery—The words or phrases, including specific details and figurative language, that a writer uses to represent persons, objects, actions, feelings, and ideas descriptively by appealing to the senses.

VOICE DictionSyntaxTone Imagery Which words do we use? How do we arrange them? Using words that appeal to the senses. What attitude do we convey toward the subject? Writer’s distinctive use of language.

VOICE DictionSyntaxTone Imagery Parallelism Which words do we use? How do we arrange them? Using words that appeal to the senses. What attitude do we convey toward the subject?

Parallelism looks like this: Items in a series must have parallel structure. Shane,, and Shane,, and..

Here is an example: Shane ate the pizza, wiped his lips, and burped with contentment. Ate = past tense verb; wiped = past tense verb; and burped = past tense verb.

Non-parallel structure looks like this: Don’t create problems by mixing grammatical elements. Shane,, and Shane,, and..

The problem looks like this: Shane ate the pizza, wiped his lips, and burping with contentment. Now look what you’ve done ! Ate and wiped = past tense verbs, but burping = present participle!
