English : Play scripts(1)

We began by recapping how inverted commas work in narrative writing,
looking at how characterisation happens - description by narrator
Children wrote several four line conversations that might occur between a variety of pairs of people.
We were careful with punctuation:
- only place "" round words that were actually spoken.
- capital letters and full stops, of course
- apostrophes - usually of omission.
- punctuation on the line to separate speech from narrative - could be comma, full stop, exclamartion mark or question mark.
- continuing with same speaker after narrative does not need a new line
- when a new speaker commences a new line is needed
