DIDLS The Key to TONE Diction - the connotation of the wo.docx
DIDLS: The Key to TONE
Diction - the connotation of the word choice
What words does the author choose? Consider his/her word choice compared to another. Why did
the author choose that particular word? What are the connotations of that word choice?
Images - vivid appeals to understanding through the senses - concrete language
What images does the author use? What does he/she focus on in a sensory (sight, touch, taste,
smell, etc.) way? The kinds of images the author puts in or leaves out reflect his/her style? Are
they vibrant? Prominent? Plain? NOTE: Images differ from detail in the degree to which they
appeal to the senses.
Details - facts that are included or those that are omitted
What details are does the author choose to include? What do they imply? What does the author
choose to exclude? What are the connotations of their choice of details? PLEASE NOTE: Details are
facts or fact-lets. They differ from images in that they don't have a strong sensory appeal.
Language - the overall use of language, such as formal, clinical, jargon
What is the overall impression of the language the author uses? Does it reflect education? A
particular profession? Intelligence? Is it plain? Ornate? Simple? Clear? Figurative? Poetic? Make
sure you don't skip this step.
Sentence Structure - how structure affects the reader's attitude
What are the sentences like? Are they simple with one or two clauses? Do they have multiple
phrases? Are they choppy? Flowing? Sinuous like a snake? Is there antithesis, chiasmus, parallel
construction? What emotional impression do they leave? If we are talking about poetry, what is
the meter? Is there a rhyme scheme?
DICTION:
Laugh: guffaw, chuckle, titter, giggle, cackle, snicker, roar
Self-confident: proud, conceited, egotistical, stuck-up, haughty, smug, condescending
House: home, hut, shack, mansion, cabin, home, residence
Old: mature, experienced, antique, relic, senior, ancient
Fat: obese, plump, corpulent, portly, porky, burly, husky, full-figured
IMAGES:
The use of vivid descriptions or figures of speech that appeal to sensory experiences helps to
create the author's tone.
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun. (restrained)
An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying king. (somber, candid)
He clasps the crag with crooked hands. (dramatic)
Love sets you going like a fat gold watch. (fanciful)
Smiling, the boy fell dead. (shocking)
DETAILS:
Details are most commonly the facts given by the author or speaker as support for the attitude or
tone.
The speaker's perspective shapes what details are given and which are not.
LANGUAGE:
Like word choice, the language of a passage has control over tone.
Consider language to be the entire body of words used in a text, not simply isolated bits of
diction.
For example, an invitation to a wedding might use formal language, while a biology text would use
scientific and clinic.

Rhetorical Situations Lecture (01/15)
This document discusses rhetorical situations and their elements. It defines rhetoric as the purposeful use of language in different situations. There are five elements to consider in every rhetorical situation: purpose, audience, stance, genre, and media/design. The document provides examples of how these elements may differ depending on whether the situation is at home, work, leisure, or school. It emphasizes that understanding the rhetorical situation is important for choosing the appropriate tone and words in writing or speaking.
How to write a descriptive essay
This document provides instructions for writing a descriptive essay. It explains that writers should first consider what they will describe, why they chose that subject, and how they will approach the description. When writing, authors should show rather than tell details using vivid descriptions of the five senses. The tips recommend planning the subject and perspective, drafting with sensory details, and revising to ensure a complete and coherent picture for the reader.
Preparing your podcast
This document provides guidance on developing the key elements of a podcast, including establishing a clear purpose and intended outcomes, understanding the target audience, defining the context of how listeners will engage with the podcast, and outlining main topics, talking points, and sources to be discussed. The document instructs the reader to reflect on their motivation, goals for listener experience and response, and potential best and worst case scenarios. It also prompts defining audience characteristics, perspectives, and interests as well as considering additional secondary audiences. Further, it guides addressing how and where the audience will access the podcast and their potential expectations. The reader is then asked to draft a statement of purpose tying together these various elements and their responsibilities related to the podcast project.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
