I am starting to punctuate speech in my

writing.

Look at the conversation between

Arachne and Athena below. Put speech
punctuation in the correct place. Check
your work with a partner.

I am the best weaver in the world boasted Arachne.

Even better than the Gods asked Athena.

Yes exclaimed Arachne.

We shall see about that she shouted. Let’s have a competition.

The best weaver wins.

Write another line of dialogue for each character. Make

sure you put speech punctuation in the correct place.
