  1. EQ: What do we do when life gets hard? Warm Up (In the Chat or Raise Hand): What is a rule for punctuating dialogue? I can use correct punctuation when creating my “Scout’s Honor” sequel

  2. The most important rule for punctuation!! Use “Scout’s Honor” as a mentor text. “Where’s that?” “Just north of the city. It’s a park in Jersey.” “Isn’t that a zillion miles from here?” “Take the subway to the George Washington Bridge, then hike across.” I thought for a moment, then asked, “How do I prove I went?” Mr. Brenkman looked deeply shocked. “You wouldn’t lie, would you? What about Scout’s honor?” “Yes, sir,” I replied meekly.

  3. What is a rule about paragraphs? “Where’s that?” “Just north of the city. It’s a park in Jersey.” “Isn’t that a zillion miles from here?” “Take the subway to the George Washington Bridge, then hike across.” I thought for a moment, then asked, “How do I prove I went?” Mr. Brenkman looked deeply shocked. “You wouldn’t lie, would you? What about Scout’s honor?” “Yes, sir,” I replied meekly.

  4. What is a rule about quotation marks? “Where’s that?” “Just north of the city. It’s a park in Jersey.”

  5. What is a rule about periods and question marks? What do they go before? “Where’s that?” “Just north of the city. It’s a park in Jersey.” “Isn’t that a zillion miles from here?” “Take the subway to the George Washington Bridge, then hike across.” I thought for a moment, then asked, “How do I prove I went?”

  6. What is a rule about using commas? “Take the subway to the George Washington Bridge, then hike across.” I thought for a moment, then asked, “How do I prove I went?” Mr. Brenkman looked deeply shocked. “You wouldn’t lie, would you? What about Scout’s honor?” “Yes, sir,” I replied meekly.

  7. What is a rule about using the dialogue tag said? “Take the subway to the George Washington Bridge, then hike across.” I thought for a moment, then asked, “How do I prove I went?” Mr. Brenkman looked deeply shocked. “You wouldn’t lie, would you? What about Scout’s honor?” “Yes, sir,” I replied meekly.

  8. What are five rules about punctuating and writing dialogue? • New paragraph each time a different character speaks. • The quotation marks go at the beginning and the end. • Periods and question marks go before the quotes • When there is a dialogue tag, the comma goes at the end of the description / before the quotation marks. • Said is dead. Use synonyms such as asked, inquired, and replied.
