Exercise to try: Provide starters (or students can draft their own; I chose one provided: Dude, it's 3 in the morning). Write dialogue only between two characters, then add actions, then add detail to help establish conflict. 6/
Exercise to try: Reverse it for analyzing literature. Example provided was from Gatsby. Stripping away all but the dialogue from a scene, then stripping away all the dialogue for just the description, was very revealing! 7/7
