Dual Style Dialogue

Students read a short conversation, then rewrite it twice: once using the informal phrase in back of and once using the formal word behind. This exercise helps learners understand how word choice changes tone and formality in spoken dialogue. It supports developing voice, register, and clarity in writing. By comparing their two rewritten versions, students explore how language shifts depending on audience and context. The worksheet reinforces grammar use while encouraging thoughtful revision.
