Learning Goal: I can use dialogue in my writing.
First, think of a conversation you have had today. It might have been a brief conversation you had with a parent over breakfast or with a friend over the phone. Maybe it was some small talk with a worker in a shop. It doesn’t matter.
Next, write down in your book what the conversation was like.
Here are some things to think about:
What did you say to each other?
Who said what?
How did you begin/end your conversation?
Then, watch the video below on how to use dialogue in your writing.
Finally, capture the conversation you had using the appropriate conventions.
As a challenge, you might want to revisit a story you have written this week and include the appropriate conventions.
