Was she telling the truth when she exclaimed, “I already have plans.”?
If the quote is at the end of the sentence, a period should be placed inside the end quotation mark. If the quote does not end the sentence, a comma should be placed inside the end quotation mark and the sentence can be continued. Put a comma inside the ending quotation mark if there is a dialogue tag after what the person says. A dialogue tag shows who is speaking (he said/she said). Use a period or exclamation point if there is no dialogue tag following the quote.
- Is the dialogue logical?
- Does it fit the character?
- Does it support the theme or purpose of the story?
- Does it create movement in the story?
Instead of boring the reader with an excessive amount of details through exposition, it is nice to include some information through dialogue. Remember, not to overdo this. Your details should come across in a natural manner. If you are having trouble transferring your ideas to the page, you may want to take a step back and reevaluate or review what information is important to include and establish the best method(s) to convey this information. This creative writing course from Udemy shows you how to transform your ideas into literary works.
Question Marks
Dialogue reveals information about the speaker(s) within a written work. Dialogue also enhances the story line and plot. Do you need some guidance on characterization and other literary elements when it comes to fiction writing? Young Adult Fiction Writing Workshop teaches the techniques of writing young adult novels through step by step lessons and practice. The following types of information are revealed to improve character development and storyline through the use of dialogue:
Use commas or periods after dialogue tags depending on where they are in the sentence. If the dialogue tag appears before the person’s words or in the middle of two sets of words, the tag requires a comma. If it appears at the end of the sentence, it requires a period. Dialogue tags such as he said or she said should never use an exclamation point. Properly punctuating will help with text clarity and consistency — both important when conveying your message to an audience. The course, Quality Paragraph and Essay Writing will instruct you on how to write with unity, coherence, and clarity.
Words, phrases, and sentences that are being spoken must be contained inside quotation marks. Be sure to place quotation marks around everything that is coming out of a person’s mouth. If a character is quoting something that another person/character spoke, a single quotation mark is used (inside the double quotations).
If you are calligraphy or a music student or just improving your handwriting, you should definitely use lined papers.
Alternatively, if you wanted to teach straight line hand writing to kids/students you need to download paper templates that contain colorful margins and funky icons that can leave the kids excited to accomplish the activity.

- Time period – When does the story take place? When was did the author write it? This is important because it can give you ideas about the cultural context of the story, which therefore makes for a better analyzed exam paper.
- Main theme(s) – This is definitely important. The main thematic elements of the literary works you’ve studied should be remembered. I say ‘should’ not because it’s a requirement in the exam but because you’ll have SO much more to talk about in your writing. Your only worry might even end up being writing too much.
- Background of the author – This one ties in very strongly with the first one ‘Time Period’. It begs the question “How does the author’s experiences affect his work?”. You definitely get bonus points if you show you’ve done research on the author and can find links between certain elements of the book/novel/play and the author.
- Cultural References – Now don’t get confused with the first and third aspects. Think of the cultural references as a further analysis into the time period. Obviously different time periods will have different trends (just take a look at fashion in the 60’s and fashion now). You can use these to your advantage and make links between the contents of the story and the time period it is set in or was written in.
Unfortunately, HL students are gonna have to be more Sherlock-y on their analysis as well as evaluation and be incredibly specific with any points you make.
Trust me when I say this, but you’re not going anywhere above a 5 without any quoting or references to specific lines in your literary texts.
I would personally recommend learning 6 or 7 quotes from each of your literary texts. It’s important that you’ve analyzed the metaphorical living life out of your quotes because it’s important that you know them inside out.
Quotes
Just briefly. It’s your analysis and evaluation that need more writing.
You’d write one short four line paragraph with that and that would be it. HL folks, that would literally be all you need to do to increase your chances of a level 7.
Don’t even dream about it folks. Your quotes and specific references are your source of life in this exam and you need them.
Content is organized into subcategories called “subreddits.” There are subreddits for every interest possible! For example, a few subreddits are TIL (Today I Learned), News, Jokes, DIY (Do It Yourself), Science, Personal Finance—and even English. If you want to start with less text, begin by commenting in subreddits like Pics and Gifs.
One of the Post Crossing Community guidelines is to use English. So in addition to writing your postcard in English, you will also get to use English when you create your account and when you browse the website.

But your blog does not need one central theme—you can write whatever you want any day! I do recommend starting with a schedule, though: Write at least one post per week.

Next, put up the quotes somewhere you will see them every day. You could decorate your bedroom walls, a notebook, your bathroom mirror—wherever you want. Every time you look at the quote, read it aloud or say it in your head.
