Recommended Pacing

If this lesson is a review for your class, you may be able to move fairly quickly through the presentation. If students are not already familiar with the comma usage rules, I recommend breaking this lesson into chunks of 2-3 rules at a time to allow for practice and reflection between segments.

Day 1 – Series, Places, Dates, Titles

Day 2 – Interjections, Adjectives, Adverbs

Day 3 – Contrast, Quotes, Direct Address

Day 4 – Introductory Phrases, Compound Sentences

Day 5 – Dependent Clauses, Nonessential Phrases and Clauses, To Prevent Confusion, Do Not Use a Comma, Commas and Spacing
