Style Tool Box How to use the Style Tool Box in your classroom:
Included are seven slides, each with a list of “tools” a writer may use to achieve a purpose. The seven slides are as follows: General Strategies, Figurative Language, Syntax, Diction, Point of View, Organization, and Modes. Print the seven tool box slides and laminate them or put them in page protectors as the students’ go-to visuals for style analysis. Allow students to have them out when writing style analysis essays. Enlarge the slides and make classroom posters. Give students “blank” tool boxes as you introduce each device. Students use the slides as graphic organizers. For review, make a sorting exercise out of cut-out tools. Students have to group them (e.g., put all the syntax devices together).
