Module 1 – Narrate this(students were given dialogue from the play “Lucy Stone,” and had to rewrite the dialogue as a narrative using correct quotations)Mrs. Brinson completed an example for students.

Dialogue is italicized AND in quotesSpeech tags are underlined

Running with all of her might, Lucy won the race…again. “Slowpoke,” she blurted out with laughter, “I beat you again.” Her brother Luther, clearly not happy whined back, “It’s not fair, Lucy. I stubbed my toe.” “You always have an excuse, Luther. Why don’t you admit I’m a faster runner?” Lucy barked back at Luther. Feeling completely irritated and knowing within he would never admit such a thing, Luther was emphatic when he spoke, “Because it’s not right for a girl to run faster than a boy. You’re a freak, Lucy Stone.”

Module 3 – What’s Wrong)

(students were given a line from the play Lucy Stone and had to think figure out the 8 corrections that needed to be made.)

And the crowd chimes the rights of all citizens in the united states to vote shall not be denied or abriged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Module 4 – Say it another way!

(students were allowed to use dictionary, thesaurus, personal devices, or computers to look up a variety of words (5-7) that equate to “speaking”)This was done so students will not always use ‘Sally said’ when creating speech tags for their narratives.

“said”
