Why Study Shakespeare?
 Focus on…speech
punctuation
Put the speech punctuation in
to show who is speaking.
Our teacher told us This term
we will be studying
Shakespeare. Hooray, we
cheered! At last a subject
everyone loves.
Rules on how to punctuate
speech
1. Always use speech marks to
surround the speech (“”).
2. Start the speech with a
capital letter.
3. Each time a new person
speaks, start the speech on a
new line.
4. If you are writing your
speech with a speech tag (he
said) before the speech, use
a colon (or comma) to go in
front of the speech and use a
full stop before the end
speech mark.
5. If you are using a speech tag
after the speech, use a
comma before the end
speech mark and a lower
case letter for the ‘he/she’.
