Planning a narrative scene with direct speech in 'Whale Rider'

Ambitious vocabulary can be logged on a plan for future use. Fronted adverbials of time, place and manner indicate when, where and how action takes place. Dialogue, using direct speech, moves the plot forward and develops characters in a story. Show-not-tell language shows a character’s feelings by describing their actions, body language and facial expressions. Notes should not be written in full sentences and bullet points can be used to make notes clear.
