1 AUGUST 25 AND 26 I can use commas with independent clauses. I can apply knowledge of denotation to determine meaning of words. I can apply before, during, and after reading strategies. I can demonstrate comprehension of a text.

2 GRAMMAR  Comma Rule #3 Join two independent clauses with a comma AND a coordinating conjunction. FANBOYS  EXAMPLE: Many people today desperately want children, but they are unable to have a child.  What do you see? A truck and a boat are both independent items. They can move on their own. However, you need tools in order to put them together and make them go the same direction. You need a hitch (like a comma in a sentence) and a trailer (like the conjunction).  http://ed.ted.com/lessons/comma-story-terisa-folaron http://ed.ted.com/lessons/comma-story-terisa-folaron
