3. Quotation marks are used: To punctuate titles and to set off speaker’s exact words. Remember they always come in pairs (Write an example on your whiteboard for each of the following) To punctuate titles We sang “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” in music class.
4. Before and after spoken words “What’s that?”, I asked. Take your Self Selected Book and identify quotations in your book. Talk to a partner the reason why quotations are used in those cases.
5. To set off a speaker’s words in a sentence “No!”, Maggie said, “ we can’t go with you!” After an introductory word ( a name or a surprise expression) Wow, you hit that ball really hard! Mom, what will we have for dinner? Between describing words I like wearing big, floppy hats.
