Literacy: writing a conversation

We began our literacy lesson by revising how we write a conversation.  We should not have two people speaking on the same line.  If another person speaks, we should start a new line, even if the first line is not full.  It makes it much easier to know who is speaking when you are reading.  On the board above, Fred speaks, and then Dad replies.  Before writing Dad's spoken words I must begin a new line.  I must also put speech marks around the spoken words, and remember that other punctuation (commas, exclamation marks etc.) always comes BEFORE speech marks.

At home please read pages 54 to 57 of the Literacy World fiction anthology, all about Danny and Mr King.
