LI. To understand how to use and correctly punctuate dialogue when writing.
This week for our writing class we have we recapped what a dialogue text is about, and how to use it.
This is our DLO we have worked on to reflect our understanding of the purpose of dialogue in writing.
An example of how to use dialogue is:
“Are you new here?” questioned Mahdi.
“Yes, I am new here, can you please take me to room 7?” replied James
“Sorry I’m actually new here. I was about to ask you if you wanted to be my friend,” awkwardly said Mahdi.
Something I found interesting about dialogue is that theres more different ways to write instead of saying said.
LI: To write a cinquain poem to describe a sports star
We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun.
I enjoyed this activity because I get to talk about my favourite sports star and it also helps me describe other words.
This week for writing I made a moment in time poem. First we made a group moment in time poem about camp. We then made our own indivuidal poem about anything we did. My moment in time poem was about my first rugby game. I had to include what I heard, felt, wondered, and what I saw.
Commanding conversation is a can-do where people practice writing conversations. We used comanding conversation to get better at using descriptive speech and using punctuation when writing.
I wrote one conversation which is about three kids playing the grass.
Commanding conversation is a good way for me to practice writing dialogues.

Screenplays are scripts that are converted into parts only. The actors line is center aligned under their name. The lines don't need speech marks because it could help what tone to use.
A screenplay scene number should be in all caps. The name also should be in caps and center aligned. If there is any extra information people would put it in brackets under their name.
Screenplays can give some descriptions on how actors should speak and it can also give more detail.
Knowing how to write a screenplay is importaint because actors understand how to say their lines and what their lines are.

Formality tells people when to use formal or informal language.
Formal langage and situations are when times when rules and politeness need to be followed.
For example: "Greetings" is a propper way for saying hello to someone.
Informal language situations are when times when rules and politeness don’t have to be followed.
For example: "Bro sup gee" is an informal way for saying hello.
Formal and informal language can be helpful to people when they go to use the correct word in a formal or informal situiation.
