In the SOAPSTone graphic organizer template, the 'S' here stands for speaker, 'O' stands for the occasion, 'A' stands for the audience, 'P' stands for the purpose, 'S' stands for the subject. The speaker determines who is narrating the story, is it a character of the story or an author? Occasion recognizes the places and time in which the events took place. Purpose determines the message or motive behind writing the text. The subject represents the topic of the text and the meaning it provides it. The tone will tell about the author's feelings towards the text and how the audience will feel after reading the text.
