FINAL COMMA TEST (50 points)
To prepare for test, I suggest the following worksheets in the Comma Packet:
- pages 17-18 T 11/6
- pages 20-21 W 11/7
- page 22 W 11/7
- page 23 Th 11/8
On all worksheets, make yourself identify the comma rule for comma placement. This will help you better absorb and understand the rules.
On the final test, you will ONLY place commas; no rule identification will be required.

My first assignment for you is the About Me Collage. I love this assignment because it decorates the classroom with a bit of info about each of you. If you happen to be reading this before the first day of class actually begins, feel free to get started on this creative assignment. I also attached the powerpoint I use for it because it has several samples attached.
