Introduction
(10 minutes)
- Ask students if they talk differently to different people. Do they change their tone of voice? Do they adapt their word choice?
- Instruct students to work in pairs or small groups to come up with two examples of people with whom they use different “voices” and provide samples of how they might discuss the same topic with the two different audiences.
- Share student examples.
