QUOTATION MARKS







GOOD JOB!!





Today we went over the use of quotation marks, and discovered some interesting differences between American and British usage.   We greased the storytelling wheels of our minds by working in pairs following cues on a handout.  We also read, "The Wish List" by Cheryl Kremer, found in A Chicken Soup for the Soul: Christmas.
Homework: To write and interesting personal anecdote, using quotations correctly.  Refer to the handouts if necessary. 
ONLINE PRACTICE:  Try these quotation mark practice pages (You need to cut and paste them onto a word document, and then check your answers):
 QUOTATION MARKS 1
AND THIS:
QUOTATION MARKS 2

If you want to work on spelling, and I putting a list at Spelling City
GOOD LUCK!
