Grammar Warm-up: Semicolon Definition: You can use a semi-colon (;) to join two independent clauses. Joining two independent clauses this way implies that the two clauses are related and/or equal, or perhaps that one restates the other. (OWL at Purdue)
Examples:
“There are 1.1 million Spanish-surnamed registered voters in California; 85 percent are Democrats” (Chavez 5).
“You cannot do away with an entire people; you cannot stamp out a people’s cause” (Chavez 6).
Write-alike: Write three sentences that all have a semicolon in them. Your topic could be Homecoming.
