Style
What is STYLE ?
   Every author has his or her own style

   Style is the way an author makes
    their work stand out

   Think about how people at your
    school dress. People probably have
    very different “styles.” Writing is the
    same way.
STYLE

The 5 things below help an author create their
   style:

4)   Word choice (diction) and vocabulary
5)   Types of sentences (long, short,
     complicated)
6)   Point of view
7)   The way they organize the text
8)   The tone and mood of the text
   Style can also be described as formal
    or informal.

   Formal- serious and business-like

   Informal- not serious; the way you
    would talk to a friend
Style: Formal vs. Informal
Formal :

  Dear Sir,
      I would like to apply for a job at your company. My
  résumé is attached. Please read it over at your
  convenience and contact me if you have questions.
      Sincerely,
     Andrew Meyer

Informal :

Hey, Sara! What's going on tonight? Call me before you
 guys leave, okay?
 --Beth
