Directions: This week after you have reviewed the lecture over commas vs semi colons complete the following:
 * October 15th**

1. Create 1 compound sentence and identify what makes it a compound sentence: Mark and Anthony were happy that they were able to go to California for Christmas break, although they were upset that they wouldn't be able to be with their family over the vacation. It is a compound sentence because there is more than one subject. 2. Create 1 complex sentence and identify what makes it a complex sentence: Riley went to the mall, and Connor went to the food court to eat lunch. It is a complex sentence because there was a subordinate clause. 3. Complete a 3-2-1 Activity completing: 3 differences between commas and semi colons: commas are used for emphasis, commas are used for a slight pause for clarified meaning, and semi colons are used to introduce certain information 2 sentences using (and explaining why you used) comma: Braiden went to the store, but he wasn't able to find anything he liked. There was a comma because there I was joining two independent clauses. 1 sentence using (and explaining why you used) semi colon: Thomas saw a bright light coming from the doorway to his bedroom; but it was only his little sister with a flashlight. I used a semicolon for emphasis.
