Voice
When you write, your personality, or who you are, should shine through.
You want your writing to sound like you, and no one else! When you write, you show who you are through words. No matter what type of writing you do, always make sure it sounds like you. Otherwise, your reader may not care about what you have to say. In fact, your reader may not even know who wrote it!
Lesson 1: Tell How You Feel
You might think voice means the sound that you make when you speak. When we write, our words have a voice. Our writing voice tells how we feel.
Match each voice to a sentence.

Let's have a party!
I will not do that again.
