Author’s viewpoint
You have now read two articles about animal testing. Each has a clear viewpoint so we’re going to look at how each author conveys that viewpoint through their language.
Re-read the second handout:
Is it really worth all the suffering?
Reorder the text on the right to match the response to the most appropriate quote.
A different viewpoint
Now re-read the first handout:
Why we need animal testing
Consider how the author conveys his viewpoint and what is similar or different from the other article
Study the language from the passage and discuss what you think the author was trying to convey before revealing the suggestions.
Comparing writer’s ideas and perspectives
Even if authors appear to have different viewpoints, they often use similar topics, themes, ideas or techniques to express them.
