Hello again! Today we discussed dialogue punctuation again. We talked about dialogue tags, and putting quotes within quotes. Remember to always keep your end punctuation with the quote! However, BREAKING NEWS!! I'm sure this will surprise Julia P, whose writing gravitates towards British things as often as possible, but they have a different way of punctuating quotes over there! instead of using commas inside of quotes like "this," they put them outside like "this", which is totally weird! This still does not solve the problem I was trying to research, which was "How do I punctuate sentences that are declareative, but end with a quoted question,?".",!'

We will finish up next week with some notes on 'said is dead.' 

This week's writing prompt: First, draw a monster. Why is it a monster?

I'm really excited about this prompt, and I plan to finally start doing things again with my own prompts! What a concept!

Hey guys! Another late post, just before the next club! At the last meeting, Julia P led a discussion about having proper punctuation in dialogue. It was based on a great article which you can check out here.
We talked about direct and indirect dialogue, dialogue tags, and starting new paragraphs between speakers, amongst other topics.
This week's writing prompt: Write up some dialogue and check the grammar, either from your own story or from real life!

Today because we were kicked out of the computer lab we did another goofy poetry thing. Inspired by the presence of universal but modern human themes in poetry, we used Google to find out the world's FAQs. We typed in a few question words and then used the top results to inspire poems. The results were once again amazing, and you can check them out on the club works page!!
This week's writing prompt is: to do this same prompt, but to take it seriously and do some good work with it. Or if you need a more serious prompt, Facebook message the other Julia who had a lot of great and legit ideas for club today, which I super ignored after I thought of this Google thing. Sorry Julia!
