Quotation marks

ESSENTIAL QUESTION

WHY do we use quotation marks?

Share with a partner and write an example on your whiteboard.

Quotation marks are used:

To punctuate titles and to set off speaker’s exact

words. Remember they always come in pairs

(Write an example on your whiteboard for each

of the following)

To punctuate titles

We sang “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” in music

class.

Before and after spoken words

“What’s that?”, I asked.

Take your Self Selected Book and identify

quotations in your book.

Talk to a partner the reason why quotations are

used in those cases.
