He Said - She Said

By , About.com GuideMay 13, 2010

Follow me on:

Peter said he was angry and that he wanted to leave. -> Peter menacingly stated that he was angry. He then sullenly muttered that he wanted to leave.

Doesn't the second sentence read better? It's easy to just use the 'he said / she said' when telling stories, or relating incidents. This lesson plan focuses on using vocal verbs and adverbs to spice up students' writing and relating of dialogues.
