    The Use of Quotation

    Marks
    Mini-Lesson
    Excerpts from “New Country, Same You”
    (Take out your quotation marks rules handout.)
    Objective:
    I can demonstrate the correct use of quotation
    marks by identifying the rules within sentences.
    Quotation Marks Rules
    Rule 1: Periods and commas ALWAYS go inside
    quotation marks, even inside single quotes.
    Rule 2: The placement of question marks with quotes
    follows logic. If a question is in quotation marks, the
    question mark should be placed inside the quotation
    marks.
    Rule 3: When you have a question outside quoted
    material AND inside quoted material, use only one
    question mark and place it inside the quotation mark.
    Rule 4: Use single quotation marks for quotes within
    quotes. Note that the period goes inside all quote
    marks.
    Rule 5: Use quotation marks to set off a direct
    quotation only.
    For each of the following sentences, write the
    number of the quotation marks rule that applies. Be
    able to state how the rule applies.
    A.)"Monifa, this is a big school," said Mrs. Santos.
    B.) Her father had told her that other South Africans
    had moved here, but she thought he was just saying
    that to make her feel better.
    C.) Monifa thought, "That's just what my mother
    said.“
    D.) "Today you will be paired up with a student
    escort who will walk you through your schedule of
    classes."
    A.) "Monifa, this is a big school," said
    Mrs. Santos.

    Rule 1: Periods and commas ALWAYS go


    inside quotation marks, even inside single
    quotes.
    B.) Her father had told her that other South
    Africans had moved here, but she thought he
    was just saying that to make her feel better.

    Rule 5: Use quotation marks to set off a direct


    quotation only.
    C.) Monifa thought, "That's just what my
    mother said.“

    Rule 1: Periods and commas ALWAYS go


    inside quotation marks, even inside single
    quotes.
    D.) "Today you will be paired up with a
    student escort who will walk you through
    your schedule of classes."

    Rule 1: Periods and commas ALWAYS go inside


    quotation marks, even inside single quotes.
    “Exit Ticket”
    On a Post-It Notes, write the following:
    Your Name 11/13/13
    ELA 1ST/2ND Periods
    Write the quotation marks rule that applies to the
    following sentence. Write a complete sentence that
    explain how the rule applies.

    Monifa asked, "Did you say Shani?”
