Bell-Ringer:  Students worked on learning how to punctuate direct quotations.

Punctuate these statements or bits of conversation (dialogue):

1.   The teacher said   In this class there will be no talking, chewing, breathing, unnecessary eye movements, or tap dancing

2.  I questioned   Are you up on the furniture again  you bad dog  Get down now

3.  I just finished reading The Lost Hero   she remarked

     So what did you think of it    I asked

     It was excellent    she exclaimed

     I agreed    I loved it too 

4.  I wish today were Friday     she said     I’ve been looking forward to it for months now

     How come   he asked

     Because finally I’m supposed to get my braces taken off.   At least that’s what my orthodontist promised
