If you use a direct quotation, you must put quotes around it and provide the complete reference information. After taking notes, you should organize your notes in a logical sequence.

Language Arts Writing a play To draft a play, you must first understand the format of a play. Plays are usually written dialogue. the characters speech must match who they are. Mr. Hughe’s language, for example, is more formal than Langston’s or Thad’s. To create realistic and effective dialogue, students should consider the following: think of each character’s speech as unique, and match the pronunciation of words and accents to the character’s personality. Make sure a character’s dialogue stays connected to a specific action or feeling. Make sure the dialogue sounds conversational—how someone would talk to friends and family Complete the graphic organizer on Skills Practice 1 page 47
