  5. Narrative Writing • Tell a fictional story. • Write the events in order. • Remember your plot diagrams. • You can do flashbacks. • Paragraphs can be any size. INDENT! • Still proper grammar, spelling and capitalization.

  6. Dialogue • Indent for each new speaker. • Use quotation marks. • Use commas inside the quotation marks, then who said the words.

  7. “Wow,” Jim said as he walked down the eerie hallway to his destination. “I can’t believe it!” “Hey, wait up!” Joe yelled, as he saw his friends shadow disappear around the corner. Blah, blah, blah, blah Blah, blah Blah, blah Blah, Blah,blah Blah, blah Blah, blah Blah, blah Blah, blah Blah. “Relax bro,” Jim retorted.

  8. Back and Forth Conversation “Look at that,” Jim said. “I know,” whispered Joe. “How do you know?” “I just do.” “Yeah, right.” (You can stop using their names each time when they talk back and forth right away).

  9. Continued Talking • No Capital letter if you continue after you write: I said or Joe said “Sir,” I said to the officer, “the kid just broke his arm.”
