10. Dissecting the Acronym
Entry 189: SOAPSTone 6 Nov 17
Dissecting the Acronym
Who is the Speaker?
The voice that tells the story. Whose voice is going to be heard: your own, or a fictional character.
What is the Occasion?
The time and the place of the piece; the context that prompted the writing. Writing does not occur in a vacuum. All writers are influenced by the larger occasion: an environment of ideas, attitudes, and emotions that swirl around a broad issue. Then there is the immediate occasion: an event or situation that catches the writer’s attention and triggers a response.
Who is the Audience?
The group of readers to whom this piece is directed. Determine who the audience. It may be one person or a specific group. This choice of audience will affect how and why students write a particular text.
What is the Purpose?
The reason behind the text. Consider the purpose of the text in order to develop the thesis or the argument and its logic. “What do I want my audience to think or do as a result of reading my text?”
What is the Subject?
Students should be able to state the subject in a few words or phrases. This step helps them to focus on the intended task throughout the writing process.
What is the Tone?
The attitude of the author. The spoken word can convey the speaker’s attitude and thus help impart meaning through tone of voice. With the written word, tone extends meaning beyond the literal, and students must learn to convey this tone in their diction (choice of words), syntax (sentence construction), and imagery (metaphors, similes, and other types of figurative language). The ability to manage tone is one of the best indicators of a sophisticated writer.
