Direct Speech `


“Hey Fine, have you heard about the debate on whether New Zealand should provide breakfasts in schools?” Samantha asked.

“Of course. It’s going to be a breakthrough for the New Zealand education statistics! This means they’ll be more focused!” Replied Fine.

“But why would I want to pay for the food of other children? They’re not my responsibility” exclaimed Samantha.

“HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WENT TO SCHOOL HUNGRY EVERYDAY?! It’s not their parents faults that they can’t afford breakfast for their children!” Screamed Fine.

“WOW! I never thought about it like that! You've changed my whole perspective! Just searched it up now, I never knew 15% of New Zealand children go to school hungry!” Samantha responded.

We tried to use the information in our ifake text to help us write a conversation between two people. Our focus today was to correctly punctuate the dialogue. We had to include speech marks to show what was being said, begin a new line to show that a new person is speaking and use the correct punctuation . , ! ? to show how the words were said (set the mood).

Hi Fine, great work on your direct speech task. You have correctly punctuated your text and changed it into direct speech. You have also come up with some awesome words to use instead of 'said'. Well done
