Play-Doh Superhero Conversations

Ever wonder what Penguin Boy would say to Rhino-Man?  In Writing Lab this week, we worked on reviewing and practicing the skill of writing engaging dialogue between characters using correct punctuation.  First, we created our own superheroes out of play-doh.  Then we wrote online dating profiles for our characters to introduce them to the class.  Students all picked a fellow superhero as a conversation partner for the two-page creative dialogues they are currently writing, due next week after final exams.
