How to Write a Conversation 

Choose a topic: Decide what the characters will talk about.

Identify characters: Who will be speaking? Oh, it could be two or three people.

Understand the situation: Where and when is the conversation happening?

Think about feelings: Are they excited, sad, or curious?

Start with a greeting: Begin with a simple “Hello!” or “Hi!”.

Take turns: Let each person reply back and forth, like, “Yes, I agree!”

Use punctuation: Don’t forget commas, periods, and question marks!

End politely: Finish with a kind “Goodbye” or “See you later!”

Other Teacher: Really? What kind of assignments did you give her?

Mr. Keesing: I first asked her to write an essay on ‘A Chatterbox.’ She wrote such a clever piece, defending why she talks so much!

Other Teacher: That’s impressive! Did she stop talking after that?

Mr. Keesing: No! So I gave her another essay on ‘Quack, Quack, Quack,’ and once again, she wrote a brilliant story.

Other Teacher: She’s definitely a talented student. How did she manage the final essay?

Mr. Keesing: Her final essay, ‘An Incorrigible Chatterbox,’ was the best. It was witty, and I couldn’t help but admire her spirit. Eventually, I gave up and accepted her for who she is.

Other Teacher: Sounds like Anne outsmarted you! She’s going to be something special.

Classmate: That’s such a unique perspective. I would’ve found it so frustrating.

Anne: At first, I thought it was a punishment, but each essay turned into a fun challenge. I made my case in a clever way. Mr. Keesing actually laughed when he read my last essay about being an incorrigible chatterbox!

Classmate: Did he finally stop giving you extra homework?

Anne: Yes, I think I’ve won him over. He’s starting to understand me. I guess writing helped him see my side of things.

Classmate: You always have such a smart way of turning things around. I wish I had your patience!

Anne: Writing really does help. It’s like talking, but without the noise or the misunderstandings.

Classmate: Well, it seems like Mr. Keesing got more than he bargained for!

Anne: I think we both learned something through this.

Anne: Thank you, sir. I thought a funny story would make my point better.

Mr. Keesing: I noticed. You sure turned 'talkativeness' into a creative narrative.

Anne: Well, sir, papers are more patient than people. It lets me express myself.

Mr. Keesing: That’s true, Anne. Perhaps I’ve been too strict. You’ve got quite the imagination.

Anne: I just like finding humor in things, even in assignments.

Mr. Keesing: Maybe I should give you more freedom to use that creativity in class.

Anne: That would be wonderful, Mr. Keesing!

Mr. Keesing: Let’s see how you can balance fun and learning. Deal?

Anne: Deal!
