1. Create 1 compound sentence and identify what makes it a compound sentence

Ariana speaks in a nasally voice, and she does it just to annoy me. Both of these pieces of the sentence are independent clauses and can stand on their own.

2. Create 1 complex sentence and identify what makes it a complex sentence

The group of friends went to the movies, and enjoyed themselves. The first part of this sentence can stand on it's own while the second can not and depends on the first part to have it make sense

3. Complete a 3-2-1 Activity completing: 3 differences between commas and semi colons

Commas connect 2 thoughts showing no evident connection, semicolons make readers slow down Commas connect incomplete thoughts, semicolons makes objects cleaner Commas make lists of 3 or more things, semicolons place emphasis on details in series of items

2 sentences using (and explaining why you used) comma
