Read three selections of student work from the PVRHS Gallery:http://galleryofwriting.org/galleries/223497 . Choose your favorite written work by either a Pascack Hills or Pascack Valley student, and comment on your favorite part about the piece [include the title and author].
What are your thoughts about the writer's tone/ voice? Is he/ she aware of an intended audience? If you could conference with the writer, what advice would you give to improve the selection?
My favorite piece of writing was "A Liberal Society" by Andy K. The author is speaking in the third person trying to inform his audience. I am able to infer this by reading the first few sentences, where the writer tries to give background information to prepare the reader for new ideas to come later on in the work. If I conferenced with the author, I would tell him to split up the middle paragraph. It has several different main ideas present which would be better explained in multiple paragraphs.
