Introduction:
 Discuss different character traits from previous lesson. Have students write a statement on a sentence strip that tells a trait about them. (Example: David is friendly.)
Development:
 Have students to write a quote on another sentence strip that tells something David might say that shows he is friendly. (Example: David said, "Come and sit with me.")

 Have students to place the commas and quotes in the correct place. After they write the sentence in pencil and the teacher checks it, the students will glue elbow macaroni where the comma and quotes are.
Accommodations:

Checking For Understanding:
 Walk around the room as students are working independently checking for understanding. Help students to make corrections as needed.
Closure:
 About five minutes before time for the class to end have students come back together and discuss orally what they did. Ask questions about why they put the quotes or commas where they did.
