Capturing Conversations
In writing, students continue to gather ideas on how to grab a reader's attention. We discussed how good writers use dialogue in their writing. The students need to listen and observe conversations that are happening around them. Suggested places for this assignment include listening at home, school, at a store, a restaurant, or a family gathering. They need to record parts of these conversations in their writing notebooks. Again, the purpose of this lesson is to demonstrate how using dialogue in a piece of writing can make it more interesting.
