Dialogue Practice from Freaks and Geeks

Read the first few pages of "Kim Kelly is My Friend." What does the writer do to make each character sound unique?


After we read John August's information on dialogue, take a character from your episode and post a passage of dialogue. Try to make your character sound unique.

Read your passage out loud without saying the character's name. Have a partner guess the character. If they don't guess it, maybe your dialogue isn't unique enough.
