[_20__mins.] Practice with Dialogue Indentation In this lesson, students are already familiar with the rules of dialogue.

Remind them about the rules of paragraph indentation and dialogue: Every time there is a new speaker, indent for a new paragraph. Tell students they are to work in their pairs from yesterday and practice indentation with dialogue by re-writing this passage from What Means Switch with the correct indentations: "But Ma," I say. "Don't Ma me," she says. Later on she explains that World War 11 was in China, too. "Hitler," I say. "Nazis. Volkswagens." I know the Japanese were on the wrong side, because they bombed Pearl Harbor. The Napkin Massacre. "Nan- king," she corrects me. "Are you sure?" I say. "In school, they said the war was about putting the Jews in ovens." "Also about ovens." "About both?" "Both." "That's not what they said in school." "Just forget about school." Forget about school? "I thought we moved here for the schools." "We moved here," she says, "for your education." Sometimes I have no idea what she's talking about. I will have this passage on a powerpoint slide. After students revise, I will have a few pairs volunteer to project their revisions; one student will read the part of Mona and the other will read the part of the mother. I will have them explain their reasoning for their revisions, and we will discuss the effect of these changes on the meaning and sound of the passage. Then, I will project the actual text, and we will compare and contrast it to what they came up with in their pairs.
