  1. More Chapter 14 Punctuation: Fun with quotation marks and italics!

  2. Who wants to try and punctuate? It’s never too late stated Danny to start your New Year’s resolutions Alicia whispered that her favorite Edward Gorey short story was Donald Has A Difficulty most people would say The GashlycrumbTinies is their favorite My favorite line in the movie Joss revealed is when Thor says in my youth I courted war

  3. QUOTATION MARKS • Use quotation marks to enclose a direct quotation (a person’s exact words) • The first word of the quote should begin with a capital letter. • Sally said, “You are my hero!” • She said that he was angry. Why does #2 not have quotation marks?

  4. QUOTE MARKS IN DIVIDED QUOTES When a quote is divided into two parts, the second part begins with a lowercase letter if is not a new sentence. • “I wish,” she said, “that we went to the same school.” • “Where is he?” she said. “He cannot have forgotten our appointment!”

  5. But what about the other punctuation? A comma or period is always placed inside the closing quotation mark. • “I haven’t seen the film version of Romeo and Juliet,” remarked Jeannette, “but I understand it is really good.” • We just finished reading the short story “The Most Dangerous Game.”

  6. More about the other punctuation… A comma or period is always placed inside the closing quotation mark. • “I haven’t seen the film version of Romeo and Juliet,” remarked Jeannette, “but I understand it is really good.” • We just finished reading the short story “The Most Dangerous Game.”

  7. Even more about other punctuation… A comma or period is always placed inside the closing quotation mark. • “I haven’t seen the film version of Romeo and Juliet,” remarked Jeannette, “but I understand it is really good.” • We just finished reading the short story “The Most Dangerous Game.”

  8. Does it ever go on the outside? Ever? A question mark or exclamation point is placed outside the quotation mark if it is part of the entire sentence. • I cannot believe you have never heard of the song “I Will Always Love You”! (The phrase inside the quotation marks is not exclaimed.) • Which of the characters says, “Parting is such sweet sorrow”? (The phrase inside the quotation marks is not a question.)

  9. The ubiquitous single quote Use single quotation marks to enclose a quotation within a quotation. • “Do you agree with O’Henry that Della and Jim ‘were the wisest’?” asked Greg. Otherwise, don’t use them!

  10. Quotation marks with titles Use quotation marks to enclose titles of short works, such as short stories, poems, songs, essays, newspaper and magazine articles, book chapters, and television or web episodes. • We read the short story “Thank You Ma’am.” • Have you heard the song “Big Girls Don’t Cry”? • We read the poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” outside under the trees. 

  11. THE CHEAP/EASY RULE

  12. Italics (underlining) Italicize or underline titles of long works, such as books, epic poems, plays, films, newspapers, magazines, works of art, television series, and also ships, trains, airplanes, and spacecraft. Beowulf /Beowulf (epic poem) Insidious / Insidious The Commercial Appeal /The Commercial Appeal The Mona Lisa / The Mona Lisa (painting) People Magazine / People Magazine Family Guy / Family Guy So how do you know when to italicize and when to underline?

  13. Italics Italicize foreign words and phrases in the context of an English sentence. I tried a Cuban dish that, in Spanish, is known as platanosverdes. Apple pie à la mode is my favorite dessert.

  14. Italics Italicize words, letters, or numerals used to represent themselves. • If I had to describe my cat in one word, that word would be independent. • The s on the plaque is so ornate that it almost looks like an 8.

  15. Shall we try? Mr. and Mrs. Allen owners of a 300-acre farm said we refuse to use that pesticide because it might pollute the nearby wells Mr. and Mrs. Allen stated that they refuse to use that pesticide because of possible water pollution

  16. Let’s all give it a whirl! Working individually, write three sentences with NO punctuation marks. One sentence must include a title of some kind, and two sentences must include dialogue of some kind. On the back, make a key with the correct punctuation for yourself.

  17. Partner time! Trade your paper with a neighbor and let them fill in the necessary punctuation. Compare answers and discuss the correct punctuation.
