Thurs. Oct. 31 Essay concerns, commas

Today, you signed out the novel Night from the library, were given the rules for commas usage to read, were then given some comma exercises to complete (for Monday) in which you have to place commas in the sentences correctly, but also have to write down the applicable rule (paraphrase it but be accurate).
Finally, just a reminder that you are to actively read chapter two of Night and hand it in at the beginning of tomorrow's class for marking.

Oh, I also put the following notes on the board to provide context for "commas."

Independent clause/complete sentence/main clause
    - has a subject and a verb and makes sense standing alone.

Dependent clause/incomplete sentence/fragment/phrase
   - is missing a subject or a verb and does not make sense on its own.
