Handout- An Editing Excercise: Punctuationg and paragraphing dialogue
With your group, on a separate piece of paper, rewrite the story by doing the following:
- use proper dialogue punctuation rules
- add tone (Argumentative, melancholy, urgent, sarcastic, horrific, distressed)
- use the said is dead sheet to come up with other ways than said that reflect tone, for example, if someone was writing an argumentative story they might put: "Where is dad?" I yelled
- Also, you are allowed to change things if they don't reflect tone, or you can add things to help reflect tone. For instance, in the story there is a hug. This hug wouldn't make sense if you are using an argumentative tone.
