Quotation Marks

Quotation marks are used in dialog and come with rules that can be confusing.  The GrammarSong video “May I Quote You on That?” focuses on basic dialog as the purpose for quotation marks.  The video and lyrics emphasize the basic “rules” for using quotation marks correctly.  The GrammarSong activities provided emphasize not only paper/pencil tasks, but hands-on learning and links to real life reading and writing.
