Good Voice
  • You want to read this aloud to someone else
  • The writing clearly belongs to this writer.
  • The voice is just right for the topic, purpose,
    and audience.
  • The writer knows the topic and the confidence
    coming from that knowledge strengthens the voice.
  • The writers enthusiasm is contagious.

Key Questions
  • Would you want to keep reading if it were longer?
  • Does this sound like me?

Which Voice is better?
  • One sizzling August afternoon my friends and I
    cruised down the Wisconsin River on a bright red
    canoe. Their energetic golden retriever, Toby,
    rode along with us. Whenever one of us would
    shout, "Switch sides," Toby would jump up and
    dance around. One time he leaped so high, he
    tipped the bouncing boat. We all flopped into the
    water splashing and laughing like baby seals.
    What fun!
  • I went canoeing with friends. They brought their
    dog. It was hot outside. The water felt good. The
    dog liked to play in the water with us. We all
    got wet. It was fun!

Name that Voice
  • Wow, that was really scary and if you don't
    mind me saying, if that don't work, your breath
    will certainly get the job done, 'cause you
    definitely need some Tic Tacs or something 'cause
    your breath STINKS.
