2.  Open your notebook to "Rules for Formatting Dialogue."  Read the four rules.
3.  With a pen, circle an example of each of the four rules on the dialogue you just copied on the binder paper.  (Remember that #2 has two parts, "a" and "b.")
4.  In the margin, write the rule next to the example you circled.  (Remember that #2 has two parts, "a" and "b.")

Here is the section you will copy on binder paper and annotate with the four rules:
      Kate looked down at Molly.  “She likes it,” was all she said, and went on flipping channels.
      Patrick looked down at Molly, too.  “I don’t think she likes it,” he said.
      Kate threw the remote control onto the coffee table and said, “Whatever,” in a bored voice.  Then she collapsed onto the couch and continued, “Pat and I are on our way downtown to the Penguin to get Blizzards.  Come with us.”
      “I can't go downtown,” I said, a little shocked at the suggestion.  “I have to stay here with Molly.”
      Kate said, “The Whine-Mans left a number, right?  Call them and tell them Molly is sick.  Then they’ll come home, and we can all go downtown.”
      “I can’t do that!” I said.

Example of Writing LONG about a story idea:
