Comma Usage Stations (like, actual stations this time)
Yes, this means you need to get up and move...No, you can't just stay in your seat. Did you know that prolonged sitting increases the risk of all-cause mortality by 49%? And it leads to increased chances of diabetes and cancer. #funfact #hashtag
HW: Photo Story Presentations start on Monday!
- Step 1: There are FIVE comma stations around the room.
- Visit each of them.
- It might be helpful to bring your notes from yesterday, especially the one about phrases.
- Step 2: For each comma station, do the following:
- Read through the handout for that tip (i.e. Comma Tip 1, Comma Tip 2)
- Correct/complete the sample sentences
- Write your own sentences
- (probably won't finish today, will finish tomorrow)
