Lesson outcome

I can emulate Dostoevsky's use of dialogue in 'Crime and Punishment'.

Show transcript
Dostoevsky uses facial expressions, body language, structure and punctuation to create effective dialogue. To emulate Dostoevsky, we might begin by asking what emotion our characters feel. Then we might consider how we can show those emotions through body language, structure and punctuation. When writing dialogue, often less is more when it comes to the actual exchange of words between characters.
