• 6.) Capitalize the first word of what the person says, even if it occurs in the middle of a sentence.
• “No it’s not,” said Stephanie. “I want one coming out the side, just above my ear.”

Let’s Try It Out• In your writer’s toolbox, take a look at your
story map. Look at your problem section and consider the dialogue that will take place between your characters.
• For practice, try writing down dialogue between two characters using quotation marks.
• We will come and check and see how you are doing.
