Fifth grade students write real and imaginative stories. Students are expected to use description to show characters‟ thoughts and feelings as well as the details of characters‟ interaction through dialogue. As students develop characters and use dialogue, they will need to understand how to introduce characters and how to engage characters in conversation in their writing.
