Revise to Maintain Consistent Style and Tone
on
Read this passage from a newspaper editorial whose purpose is to persuade an audience of
educators. As you read, identify the best replacement for the bold words and phrases to match the
desired style and tone of this editorial.
In years past, educational systems often focused exclusively on mainstream culture. These systems
focused on teaching from one cultural group and its traditions, suggesting then
that other
cultural groups and their traditions were not worth studying. Thank goodness
that trend
is changing. As educational systems increase their acceptance of other people's family traditions
we will probably see educational materials that include more authors
who might fall outside the accepted bunch of school resources
offering students a heap
of voices to learn from and enjoy.
