Presentation transcript:

How do I incorporate dialogue into my narrative?

1.Start a new paragraph each time a person speaks. This alerts the reader to speaker changes.

1.Start a new paragraph each time a NEW person speaks. Example... “What is wrong, Jonas? It was only a game,“ Fiona said. “You ruined it,” Asher said in an irritated voice. “Don’t play it anymore,” Jonas pleaded. “I’m the one who’s training for Assistant Recreation Director,” Asher pointed out angrily. “Games aren’t your area of expertness.”

2. Add dialogue tags These remind the reader of the speaker. Example: “I don’t want to go back!” Jonas shouted.

3. Break the dialogue into short paragraphs of action: A. Describe what the character is doing B. Describe what the character is thinking C. Describe what the character is feeling

4. Use a comma between the dialogue and the tag line: (commas ALWAYS go INSIDE quotation marks!) “I accept your apology Asher,” he said wearily.

5. When a tag line interrupts a sentence, it should be set off by commas. Note that the first letter of the second half of the sentence is in lower case. “Giver,” he said, “tell me what happened. Please.”
