English II Honors - Dynamic Dialogue Writing Activity


Hey guys!

Sorry I won't be here today - I will be on a field trip to Lexington to tour the Herald-Leader newsroom with my Journalism class. While I am gone, I would like you to begin working on this dialogue activity that will help you to craft better dialogue in your stories. It is due on Tuesday.

DO NOT FORGET - NARRATIVE DRAFTS ARE DUE ON MONDAY. PRIORITIZE YOUR TIME...YOU WILL NOT HAVE TIME IN CLASS TO WORK ON THESE ON MONDAY. 


1. I would like you to explore the following link and read the Exercise labelled Exercise #1.

2. Then complete Exercise #2.

This is to be submitted by Tuesday, Oct. 28. Minimum wordcount on Exercise #2 will be 400 words. Make sure that you include a title for your dialogue activity. Exercises are to be posted to Blogspot no later than when you are to arrive in class on Tuesday.

Thanks and good luck!
Mr. Parsons
