Who Said What?

This is a fun activity to do with a partner. Either on the word processor, or using old-fashioned pencil and paper, write a dialogue about one of the topics below. Be as imaginative as you'd like. Just remember - keep it respectable, and use proper punctuation for the quotation marks!

With a partner, choose one of the following topics to write a dialogue about:

What did you have for lunch?
What did you learn at school today?
Describe a day with a substitute teacher.
What are your plans for the week?

Be yourself, or make up characters and take on their identities.

Examples:

Boy: "I can't believe what I had for lunch!"

Girl: "What was it?"

Boy: "I'll give you a hint. It was red and yellow."

Write at least ten lines of dialogue. If you finish early, double-check your work, and pick another topic and do a different dialogue with different characters.
