Sharkboy Sings Writing Activity

Sharkboy Sings (Use this activity to supplement learning about the discourse of dialogue)

• Have students turn off the speakers and watch the video clip.
• Tell them to imagine what the people are saying or singing.
• Have them use the dialogue discourse with quotes to write a short skit.
• Have them post their skit in the comment box in a class blog or upload it to a class wiki for review. Afterwards they can listen to the video with audio and see what Sharkboy is singing about.

 Try it out yourself: post in the comment box a few sentences of dialogue.
