Use dialogue and description to develop experiences and events or show the responses of characters to situations Objective: The students will understand how dialogue affects the development of characters in a story. Materials: A white board, marker and // Star of Fear, Star of Hope // by Jo Hoestlandt, illustrations by Johanna Kang Lesson Sequence: <span style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo2; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"> 1.

Since we have been working on making our stories the best they can be, I want you to focus on this story because I think it will help your writing a lot. Today we will focus on dialogue. Does anyone know what that means? <span style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l4 level2 lfo2; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"> b.

Depending on response I will either explain dialogue or compliment the child with their response. I will enforce this by saying “Dialogue is a conversation between two or more characters. When you read many stories there is dialogue in them which you might not have realized before. I will be reading you // Star of Fear, Star of Hope // by Jo Hoestlandt and I would like you all to focus on this story and think about all of the dialogue in this”. <span style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo2; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: -.25in;"> 3.
