Comma practice using vocabulary words

 Today we are going to...
Practice our comma skills.  You will need your vocab words (1-10) from Ms. Hunt's class and a piece of loose leaf paper.  You are going to use your 10 vocabulary words to create sentences that show the different types of comma rules we've been practicing.  Using all 10 of your vocabulary words, you must create:

2 sentences that use a comma between independent clauses
2 sentences that use commas to show an appositive
2 sentences that show how to use commas when you have equal adjectives
2 sentences that use commas to set off introductory clauses and phrases
2 sentences that show how to use commas in dialogue, interruptions or interjections
*one vocab word per sentence*
*you may use different forms of your vocabulary words* (loiter/loitering, amiable/amiably etc...)
