Developing Voice Fifth Grade Writing

Differentiation

Support: Conduct a shared writing activity by crafting voice as a class. Together, select two “voices” and

a topic. Do the writing for students to observe, but take suggestions from the class when it comes to

language choices.

Enrichment: Have students use the back of their worksheet to generate three of their own “voices”

(crabby, funny, nerdy, etc.) and write about a topic of their choice. Have them read the samples to the

class and see if the class can guess the intended voice.

Assessment (10 minutes)

Provide students with a situation prompt, such as "A bad driver hitting your car." Have students choose a

“voice” and write a response incorporating this tone. Share or turn in.

Review and closing (5 minutes)

Have students share any books that they have recently read that have strong voice. Ask them to support

their assertion.
