PARAGRAPH JIGSAW: WRITE YOUR NAME AT THE TOP OF YOUR PAPER. WHEN I SAY “GO!” YOU’RE GOING TO BEGIN READING YOUR PARAGRAPH AND INSERTING COMMAS WHERE NECESSARY, BASED ON COMMA RULE #4. AFTER 30 SECONDS, THE BUZZER WILL GO OFF AND THEN YOU WILL PASS YOUR PARAGRAPH CLOCKWISE. WHEN YOU GET THE NEXT PAPER, BEGIN READING WHERE YOU LEFT OFF AND CONTINUE INSERTING COMMAS. REPEAT THIS PROCESS UNTIL YOU HAVE BACK YOUR ORIGINAL PAPER.

PARAGRAPH JIGSAW: READ THROUGH THE PARAGRAPH. DISCUSS WITH YOUR SHOULDER PARTNER: WHERE DID YOUR GROUP MEMBERS ADD COMMAS? WERE THERE ANY COMMAS YOU MISSED AS YOU WERE EDITING?

COMMA RULE #8 Use commas when 2 or more adjectives describe 1 noun. Except when indicating age, religion, color, size or national origin. EXAMPLE: She was a quiet, reserved girl.
