Young writers examine dialogue conventions, including indentation, quotation marks, and expressing thoughts and feelings through a fictional text. By noticing where and when authors use dialogue, they decide how to incorporate dialogue into their historical fiction narrative writing pieces. The teacher first models this concept, and then classmates work collaboratively to plan where to put their dialogue.
