Monday came in a blink of an eye and suddenly, 5C realized it was time to push their writing to the final step. They were nearly finished with personal narratives when Ms. Hannah cheered, “You need separate paragraphs when people are speaking or thinking! Oh, and don't forget your quotation marks.”
Everyone groaned when they realized they had forgotten this detail. How could they possibly go back now and add all this work?
"I have an idea," exclaimed Helen. "Why don't we look for examples of dialogue in the books we are reading? Maybe they could help us!"
5C looked at one another for a moment, smiled, and nodded in agreement. Ms. Hannah later added a video to this post to help us all see the small details when using dialogue in our writing. She also suggested students test their knowledge with this online quiz.
