Quotation Corrections - After a Technical Adjustment

For those of you who use various technologies often, you might appreciate the way one technology can malfunction only to be replaced by another technology.  Today, our projector decided to play dead, so our lesson on quotation marks hit a snag.  Luckily, our classroom blog is an established part of our classroom routine.  After making a quick, on-the-spot post, the students were back in business.

As you will see from the sentences below, not all correction are quotation marks.  This generated quite a few questions from the students, and required them to look closely, and think critically about the use of quotation marks.

"Have a great night!" exclaimed Mr. Carr.

Please correct these sentences:


Ryan said that he and Matt would play basketball after school

Mom said while you play basketball, I'll bake cookies

Ryan asked when Matt could come over to play

Mom answered that Matt could come over after lunch
