Checklist for FD Rat's POV
Before you turn in your FD tomorrow, make sure:
- Your story is very well proofread. It's always helpful to read it aloud to someone because then you can hear any errors you may have previously overlooked.
- You have an original title, not: Rat's POV.
- Your name, period, and date are in the upper right hand corner.
- Your pages are stapled together.
- You have paragraphed! I won't accept any unparagraphed pieces of writing.
- You've described incidents and characters vividly.
- You've indented every single time a new character speaks.
- You've kept your tenses consistent. Most often, using the past tense works best.

Writing Dialogue in Stories
PART 1:
- Of the two examples below (A and B), which is easier to read?
- In which example can you clearly tell what the reader is saying?
- Why? (Answer in your own head. You don't have to write anything down.)
Kelli said, "I want my band shirt back right now. You didn't have permission to borrow it."
"No," said Paul, "but you didn't have permission to take my CD either, and
I can see it on your desk."
Part 2:
Before you begin typing your FD of your story, do the following:
1. Count the speaking characters in your story.
2. Choose a highlighter or colored pencil of a different color for each speaker.
3. With the first highlighter or marker, highlight the speech of the first character every time s/he speaks.
4. Continue through your writing again for every additional speaker, using a different color for each one.
5. Now that you have color-coded each character's remarks, you'll be able to see if you've forgotten to indent every time a new character speaks.
6. If you've forgotten to indent for a new paragraph every time a new character speaks, insert the paragraph symbol
- acknowledged
- admitted
- agreed
- answered
- argued
- asked
- barked
- begged
- bellowed
- blustered

- screeched

- Have you put your name/period/date in the upper right hand corner?
- Do you have an original and catchy title?
- Have you capitalized all important words in the title (not: the, a, an, for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)?
- Have you indented each paragraph, especially when a new character speaks?
- Have you indented for a new paragraph when the story changes location, time, or topic?
- Have you spell checked?
- Have you used a font that is clear, readable, and not ALL CAPS?
