Class Experience

This is for all students to brush up on their skills for speech/quotation marks as a refresher for those that have already learned them, or for those just beginning to learn. 

We look at a very simple way to remember what we need to do in the form of a sandwich!

There are examples and opportunities to try things out for yourself - converting direct speech to indirect and indirect speech to direct. Other suggestions are made for different words to be used instead of always writing, "said". 

Make your writing stand out with great character and dialogue!

I hope you enjoy the course.

Learning Goals

Learn to correctly place speech/quotation marks in writing.
Learn to convert direct and indirect speech.
