After reading, I wonder… 2. Are the characters realistic (Do they seem like they could be real people) Why or why not? Create a timeline of events from what you have read so far. 5 minutes! + Brainstorm When do we use commas? + Commas in Lists Rule: Use a comma to separate individual parts of lists that contain three or more items. + Commas with lists, Continued. Commas should follow all but the last word in the list: Elizabeth’s favorite colors are red, white, and blue. Gene ran, tripped, and fell into the water. Myra brought macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, and watermelon to the picnic. Note: There is a comma before the word and that precedes the last item in the list. + Now It’s your turn Punctuate the list in the following sentence: Sherman will try to eat any bugs he sees including worms flies grasshoppers and crickets. Sherman will try to eat any bugs he sees including worms , flies, grasshoppers, and crickets. Now, write a sentence that lists the things your imaginary pet will eat. + Using Commas and Coordinating Conjunctions to Combine sentences Rule: If you desire to combine two sentences, place a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction between the two sentences to make a compound sentence. Sentence 1: Jack fell down and broke his crown. Sentence 2: Jill came tumbling after him. Combination: Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after him. + Let’s look again at our example Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after him. Where do you notice that there is an and but no comma? Why do you think that to properly punctuate this passage you must not use a comma here? Answer: The word and is joining only two verbs rather than two independent clauses (groups of words that could stand alone as sentences). + In short… When using FANBOYS only use a comma when they are combining two independent clauses. + Now it’s your turn Add the missing comma(s) to the following nursery rhyme: Peter Peter, pumpkin eater, had a wife and couldn’t keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her very well. Peter Peter, pumpkin eater, had a wife and couldn’t keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well. + More Practice Ms. Byrd went to the store and bought chips cookies and crackers. Khepre completed his homework and washed the dishes. Priscilla cooked dinner and she made dessert. Write out the sentence and punctuate them correctly. When you finish, quietly stand up, and then sit down. 2 minutes! + Commas after introductory elements Rule: Place a comma after an introductory element to separate it from the main sentence. + What are “Introductory elements”? An introductory element can be a single word (like an adverb), a phrase, or an entire dependent clause that comes before the main subject of a sentence. Single word: Therefore, I believe we should not serve cabbage at the dinner. Phrase: On the refrigerator, you will find a list of alternatives. Dependent Clause: Although John likes cabbage, it makes him gassy. + Commas After introductory elements, continued. Examples: Although John likes cabbage, it makes him gassy. Therefore, I believe we should not serve cabbage at the dinner. On the refrigerator, you will find a list of alternatives. + Now it’s your turn Add commas after each introductory element in the following passage: Built for the cold Great Pyrenees dogs are massive dogs with thick, white fur. Although they are quite gentle shepherds originally developed the breed to fend off bears, wolves, and other predators. Today ranchers in the U.S. still rely on these gentle giants to protect flocks. + Corrected version Built for the cold, Great Pyrenees dogs are massive dogs with thick, white fur. Although they are quite gentle, shepherds originally developed the breed to fend of bears, wolves, and other predators. Today, ranchers in the U.S. still rely on these gentle giants to protect flocks. + Commas with Non-Essential elements Examples: Dr. Smith, my English teacher, is very knowledgeable about grammar. Kevin, who is originally from Kenya, is a new tutor at the SSC. All students, whether they are close to graduating or not, should make sure they are taking the correct courses to fit their degree plans. + Commas with Non-Essential elements Rule: Put commas around non-essential elements in a sentence. Question: What is a “non-essential element”? Answer: Also called a “parenthetical element,” a non-essential element is any element that can be removed without altering the meaning of the sentence. + Now it’s your turn Punctuate the following sentences: Gene wants to speak with all the club members even those who have already paid about the dues situation. Mt. Everest the tallest mountain in the world kills more hikers each year than any other mountain. Bob plans to take all the youth who participated in the musical to the amusement park. + Semi-Colons + Combining sentences The most common use of semi-colon is joining two complete sentences together. Example: Lynn and Pat are friends; every week they go to the store together. Example: Bill and Dan don’t get along well; however, they have pledged to “behave themselves” on the business trip. Note: Often semi-colons are followed by conjunctive adverbs (i.e. however, therefore, meanwhile, etc…) + Work Sheet Complete the semicolons. worksheet on commas and + Exit Ticket List three ways you can use a comma and one way you can use a semicolon. + Homework Continue working on Portfolio.
