3 paragraph dialogue

I had just started class today. Our teachers, Carl and Peter asked us to sign in.
"Has everyone done their home," Carl asked. "Okay. Today we are going to be learning about sentence dialogue. What is sentence dialogue, William," Carl questioned.
William answered.
"Correct," Carl said. Sentence dialogue is when you talk. You put quotation marks around what you and the other person, thing, or something else has said. You also add commas. Where? After the sentence that person has said. It has to be inside the quotation. Also if you say "Hi", you put an exclamation point inside what that person has said," Carl explained.
Peter added," but if you're talking and you say for example "Hi," said bob., then you just put a period.

"Next, we are going to learn to speak right off the spot," Carl said. "That means that you are going to come up with a speech about the topic that you don't know about. For example, you can tell me to talk about an apple and I have to think of a speech without rehearsing or anything. You will each have to come up, I will give you a subject to talk about and I will give you a minute to write down what you need to try to memorize, but you can not use any paper.

  1. I'm glad that you've been incorporating dialogue into this; however, part of your assignment was to write three paragraphs assessing TODAY as a whole.

    It seems that all you've done here however is transcribe a scene from today; look around at other people's blogs (here's William's for example: turtletanker.blogspot.com) and follow what they've done.

    But I'm really glad that you came today! I hope we'll all have even more fun tomorrow and during the week the come.
