1. Your Body Art paper is due today. Please place the following items in your paper packet.
- Place the final copy on top. I grade the copy on the top.
- Place at least one draft next. The draft where you identified the FANBOYS and made decisions about correct punctuation is a good choice. Those of you who sent your draft to me to review may use that copy.
- Also include your "rock" paper and notes. The bright green sheet is a good choice for notes. Other notes, if any, are also good choices.
- I will use the EMCC writing rubric to score this essay.
2. We will return to the FANBOYS and commas. We will also meet the "snob words" and semi-colons. All work together to join two independent clauses. Run-on sentences will be in the past! Note: Snob Words are more formally known as conjunctive adverbs. http://www.engl.niu.edu/wac/conjadv.html
