DIALOGUE
from H.G.Fillier Academy, Englee,
Nfld.
GRADE 6 CLASS Dialogue: What characters speak; quoted conversation between two or more people. Examples:"Mr. Twyne is a robot," Mason remarked."Mr. Twyne is no robot," said Michael. "Shuu..., Mr. Twyne is coming," Courtney signaled." Today we will be learning about dialogue," Mr. Twyne announced energetically. "Dialogue is what people say when they talk, their conversation, their speech," he explained. "It must be shown by using quotation marks." "What did he say?" whined Veronica."Use quotations marks," whispered Courtney."What’s quotation marks?" chimed Tiffany."That’s those marks you use around what people say when they speak." Like this " " he demonstrated on the board. "Oh, that’s dialogue," piped Mason. "Really, Mason I wonder about you sometimes," muttered Candace. "Yahhhh....." moaned Michael. "But, he’s right you know," concluded Mr. Twyne. "That’s what dialogue really is, conversation, what people say, indicated with those funny looking marks." "Wow!" exclaimed Mason loudly. "We’ve been reading it and using it and we didn’t know what it was." "Yes!" beamed Mr. Twyne excitedly. " And dialogue helps you learn more about characters. And you’ll have to learn the punctuation rules for dialogue which I will demonstrate on this chart."
