Writing Fix: "Lawd! Lawd! Lawd!"

Inspired by the character Charlie in Daniel Keye's Flowers for Algernon, the writer will craft sentences, using different dialects/sayings with correct dialogue punctuation. The writer will devote a page in his/her writer's notebook to these sentences, and throughout the year he/she will be invited to explore a different dialect by adding a new sentence to the page. Late in the year, the writer will choose a favorite dialogue sentence and write an extended scene of dialogue based on that sentence.
