Using Dialogue in Narratives

We began class with instruction on how to use dialogue in narratives.  We discussed how dialogue can be quite helpful in narratives: it can move your plot forward, reveal conflict and develop character.  It is important, though, that you punctuate and structure dialogue properly.  I distributed a handout on how to use dialogue properly and students worked through some sample sentences, adding punctuation where it belonged.

The remainder of the class was devoted to writing narratives.  I collected what students had accomplished by the end of class, and I will return it on Tuesday, with some feedback and direction for further progress.

Enjoy your Easter weekend!
