Quotations, Quotations…Practise Made Easy

Quotations are a powerful tool in writing, helping to add interest and variety to pieces of writing. However, many students struggle with the proper use of quotations. But fear not because The Teach Starter team has found the perfect way to ensure practise makes perfect when it comes to mastering the art of using quotation marks and dialogue correctly.

One way to make practising with quotations easier and more engaging is to start with pictures! Start your students out slowly with dialogue prompts that feature pictures. Don’t worry, though.
