After reading P-6 “other punctuation” I learned more efficient ways to get my point across. I learned to emphasize words or lists I can use a dash. I can use a dash in my writing while explaining how I used to get bad grades because I did not try hard and I was young. For example, I could say “I never got amazing grades in English–possibly because I was a young ten year old who did not want to try very hard” or something that is material not directly related. It was a review while learning to put brackets around words I insert into a quotation. I can use this tool while using quotations from Dweck in my writing. If a quotation is too long to quote the whole thing I can use ellipses to show there are more words in between what is being said. If this happens with a source in my writing I can use the three dots and still be able to get my point across without it being too long.
