So, this is the deal: as promised, I'm giving you a quiz on the use of commas. Nonetheless, this is going to be a very different format than what you have probably ever done. This is a class quiz--not an individual quiz. So you all get the same mark, and this mark will either be a "7" or a "0". Seriously. But, this is the catch: you get several tries to get a 100%. This is how it will work. I will project 15 sentences on the board. We will go around the room and each person, individually, will have 1 chance to fix his/her sentence. As soon as 1 student messes up, the quiz ends. The day we complete the circle (i.e. the day you each punctuate correctly the sentence given to you), you all get a 7. If the semester ends before this day happens, you all get an O-N-E. So, collaborate! Work together! Help those students out that need more guidance. If you are confused, ask for clarification.
I will make copies of the "comma rules" for you as posted on the website I sent you last week.
Best,
Sabrina
