Speech Bubbles

It focuses on the application of quotation marks to indicate spoken words and the correct placement of commas within the dialogue. By transcribing the spoken words from the speech bubbles to a written format, students learn how to structure and punctuate a conversation between two people in narrative text. This task helps students understand the conventions of written dialogue, which is a fundamental skill for effective written communication.
