Multiple Meaning Words
The word tone is a specific literary term, but it also has many other meanings. It can refer to specific sounds, such as the critical tone in a friend’s voice
or the high tones in a flute or musical instrument. Tone is also used to describe color, including the shade or amount of color.
A painting might have bright red tones while a pale yellow dress might have a gold tone.
Adjust language choices to suit the academic setting.
The chart presents words and phrases you will use in discussion and writing. Think about each word or phrase. Circle Q, H, or T to indicate how well you know it. Work with a partner, asking your partner to explain each word or phrase. Listen closely to the explanation, and then write your partner’s name in the In Our Own Words column along with his or her condensed idea.
