How to Write Dialogue
After our last writing sample, I notice the attempts to include speech. We looked at how it would look if it was being spoken aloud.
So we drew 2 people talking and added the conversation that would happen at home. Then we looked at how it would look in a story.
We need to remember that speaking does happen in a vacuum. In other words the people are doing something, cooking dinner, playing on the PlayStation....
Each person who speaks what they say starts on a new line.
If only two people are speaking that the third or consecutive lines do not need the tag line 'said Mum.' only the first two need it.
