prompt for thursday (and conferences)

Okay, here's the prompt for this week's post (due Thursday before 9:30 am):

Find five grammar/punctuation errors in your paper. Write the original sentence, identify the problem (and the corresponding rule), and correct the sentence.

Example:

• Original sentence: I am poor, I only have twenty dollars. 
• Problem: Comma splice. Rule: Two independent clauses need to be joined together with either a period or a semicolon.
• Solution: I am poor. I only have twenty dollars. OR: I am poor; I only have twenty dollars. 

Also, remember that your punctuation quizzes are due when you come to your conference on Thursday.

Remember your conference time, and don't be late!
