Pair up.Look at your autobiographies in relation to Price, p 31 - 4 to get a sense of how you can control the persona, and with it the goals of the reader.
And I'm using what you're doing to get a better seens of what TIO might become, the direction we might take.
Work in pairs to consider

ToneStance
- amuse
- teach
- become more aware
- be helpful
And consider how are creating this personal: the stylistic choices you're making
- word choice: register
- level of formality
- sentence construction: length, simple, compound see BasicSentencePatterns
- sentence length
- audience markers (see AudienceMarkersExericise for a list.
- use of rhetorical figures and tropes
