Dialogue Part 1
EQ: How can I use dialogue to show the thoughts, feelings, and responses of my characters?

2
What is dialogue?
Dialogue is the word we use to describe talking in written text.
3
How do we show dialogue?
Unlike comics or graphic novels, regular text doesn't have speech bubbles to tell readers that a character is talking.
Authors use special punctation.
Authors use dialogue tags
4
John said, "I did not finish my work yet."
This is dialogue because it has two parts. It has the quotation which tells what is being said. It also tells who said it.

Which of these sentences is an example of dialogue
Kerry quickly ran to the store.
Michelle was so hungry because she didn't eat lunch.
Ryan said, "School is definitely different online."
Jake told his sister to clean up the mess.

Sometimes, dialogue looks different.
You won't always see the word said. The author might use words like called, asked, whined, wondered, mumbled, or screamed.
The spoken words might come at the beginning of the sentence.
