Writing: Developing the Topic

​When you use a direct quote, you use quotation marks at the beginning and end of the quote.

​Strong writers include facts and details from the text in their writing.

when and where they were born;
who their family members were, what their childhood and teenage years were like, their hobbies and careers, and important events in their lives.
