Comma Rules

Students are finishing up their study of the first six comma rules.  We've been reviewing and practicing for the comma unit test on Tuesday, November 26. Students can list the rules, identify where commas are needed & label with the rules, and write their own sentences that use these rules correctly. When we return in December, we will transition into studying the first half of the 10 Common Compositional Errors. The students have done well with their comma study and they are becoming skilled at using commas correctly in their own writing. Now that we have mastered those rules, the expectation is that the students will be held accountable for these rules in both daily and long-term writing assignments.
