ENG 13 CLASSES–Writing with VOICE–Write a blog post as Superman

VOICE is one of the 6 Traits of Writing… see below

             –VOICE is very hard to explain and teach, but here I go…

VOICE–def.–the distinct personality of a piece of writing; the “heart and soul” of your writing            ***If a piece of writing has voice, I can tell a living, breathing, feeling person has written it.  There is passion behind the words!

(Sighs) The 40 year old me inside is about to go off on a little rant so please bear with me. So yesterday, I was watching the Time Warner News (yes I know it’s called Spectrum, but I’m still gonna call it Time Warner because Spectrum is just blah) and I saw a story about how Uber is developing a new food delivery system called “Uber Eats”…….. Ok?

Let’s do a writing activity to work on incorporating VOICE into our writing.  You won’t be writing as yourself though, you’ll be writing as Superman.

YOUR TASK:  Write an at least 200-word piece as Superman, explaining to the general public, in detail, why he is a better superhero than Batman.  Type this on your blog at edublogs.org
