Using Quotation Marks to Show Dialogue

The video tutorial teaches students how to correctly use quotation marks to indicate dialogue in writing. It explains the role of taglines in identifying who is speaking and how they are speaking. Through examples and practice exercises, students learn to punctuate dialogue correctly, ensuring the first word after a quotation mark is capitalized and punctuation is placed before the closing quotation mark. The tutorial includes a story draft revision exercise and encourages students to apply these skills to their own writing.
