• Direct Speech

When recording what someone says, we use speech
marks

• Oh dearMiss Walsh forgot to punctuate this
  direct speech. Where should the punctuation go?
• I want to go home said Susan.
• Dont be afraid said Aslan.
• Leave Edmund alone shouted Peter.

Rules for writing direct speech

• Speech marks go around the bits of a sentence
  actually being said.
• Hello!
• Every time we a character starts to speak, we
  need to use a capital letter.
• Hi!
• We also need to put some form of punctuation into
  each piece of speech at the end, before we close
  the speech marks.
• !?,.

Now have a go at adding the correct punctuation
to the following speech

• This is the land of Narnia said Mr Tumnus.
• Can we play hide-and-seek asked Lucy.
• I would like some Turkish Delight please said
  Edmund.
• Look out for the wolf shouted Susan.
• Who is usually the most truthful asked the
  Professor.
• Aslan is waiting at the Stone Table said Mr
  Beaver.
