Week 2 Using Quotations

Week 2 – Day 1 Using Quotations Quotation Rule #1 – You can introduce the quote with a dialogue tag (like “he said” or “she wrote”). Put a comma between the dialogue tag and the quote, and capitalize the first word of the quote. In each example sentence, correct one capitalization or punctuation error (you do not need to write the entire sentence, just the correction): 1. A chess player once said “Victory goes to the player who makes the next-to- last mistake. ” 2. The famous painter Pablo Picasso said, “give me a museum and I’ll fill it. ” 3. “I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have” said Thomas Jefferson. 4. His jailer said “All right, get in there with the others. ” 5. “My feets is tired, but my soul is rested” Mother Pollard announced. 6. He walked into the county courthouse, entered the sheriff’s office, and asked, “are you looking for me? Well, here I am. ” 7. In her diary, Anne Frank wrote “Things are just as bad as yourself care to make them. ” 8. “A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything” said Malcolm X. Wordplay – Just for fun! The root word “-scope- ” means “see or watch. ” How many words can you list that contain this root?
