Genre: Realistic Fiction
Realistic fiction is made up, but the
characters and events are so lifelike
that the story seems as if it must be
true. As you read, think about what
makes this story seem as if it could
happen in real life.
Summary

paint the family’s home purple and
their landlord, the Colonel, orders

Comprehension Skill
Character and Theme
• What the characters in a story do and say
gives clues about what they are like.
• The theme is the underlying meaning of a
story.
• The author may state the theme directly, but
often the reader must think about the story in
order to figure out the theme.
• A reader must have proof from the story to
support a theme statement.

Why use a Comma?
• A comma is a punctuation mark that helps
keep distinct ideas separate.
• Commas signal meaning, so it is critical to use
them correctly!
How do I use Commas correctly?
• There are set guidelines for using commas. You must know
and understand the rules of comma usage.
• In particular, you must know and understand how to use
–Commas between items in a series
–Commas after introductory word groups
–Commas around appositives and
interrupters
–Commas in compound sentences
–Commas in complex sentences
1. Using Commas between Items in
a Series
• When you have a list of three or more items in a
series, you must include a comma between each
item. With the last item, the comma will come
before the “and/or.”
– We ate fish, shrimp, and oysters.
– She wants to be a teacher, librarian, or counselor.
• Do not include a comma when you have only two
items in the series.
– We ate fish and shrimp.
– She wants to be a teacher or librarian.
2. Using Commas after Introductory
Word Groups
• Use a comma after an introductory word,
phrase, or clause to let your reader know
when the main part of the sentence is
starting.
– However, it’s only the fifth week of the semester.
(introductory word)
– According to my teacher, I am doing well in my
math course. (introductory phrase)
– Because I didn’t study for the exam, I didn’t pass.
(introductory clause)
3. Using Commas with Appositives
& Interrupters (Renaming)
• What is an appositive?
– An appositive comes directly after a noun and
renames it.
• Ms. Bonnie, our class tutor, really helped me improve
my writing.
• My favorite restaurant, TGI Fridays, just opened in
College Station.
• Ana, one of my 0321 students, won a scholarship to
SHSU.
• My English teacher, Mr. Herring, assigns a lot of
homework.
Appositives & Interrupters cont.
• What is an Interrupter?
– An interrupter is an aside or transition that
interrupts the flow of a sentence but doesn’t
affect its meaning.
• By the way, most of the students did well on the first writing
assignment.
• Some of the students, however, did not do well.
• Many students, incidentally, received a better grade because
they got help from the tutor.
• Others, on the other hand, received lower grades because they
didn’t take time for tutoring.
4. Using Commas in Compound
Sentences
• When you have a compound sentence—two
independent clauses joined together with a
coordinating conjunction—you must use a
comma before the coordinating conjunction.
– We went out to dinner, and then we went to see a
movie.
– We wanted to go out to dinner, but we didn’t feel
like going to the movies afterwards.
Compound Sentence continued
• If you have a coordinating conjunction joining
two clauses, but one is independent and the
other is not, no comma is needed!
– We went out to dinner and then to see a movie.
– We wanted to go out to dinner but not to the
movies.
5. Using Commas in Complex Sentences
• Complex sentences join an independent
clause with a dependent clause or relative
clause.
– A dependent clause begins with a subordinating
conjunction (dependent word) and cannot stand
alone.
– A relative clause begins with a relative pronoun
(who, which, that) and cannot stand alone.
Commas with Dependent Clauses
• When a dependent clause is used as an
introductory clause, it is followed by a comma.
– Because I didn’t study for the exam, I didn’t pass.
– When you get to work, give me a call.
• However, when a dependent clause comes at the
end of the sentence, it is generally not preceded by
a comma.
– I didn’t pass because I didn’t study for the exam.
– Give me a call when you get to work.

Day 2 - Question of the Day

Vocabulary Skill:
Word Structure—Context Clues
• Sometimes you can use context
clues-the words and sentences
around an unknown word-to help
you figure out the meaning of the
word.
• The author may put a definition of
the word in parentheses or
between commas or dashes.
Vocabulary Skill:
Word Structure—Context Clues
• If there are no clues surrounding the
unknown word, predict the meaning of
the word and see if it makes sense in
the sentence.
• Another strategy to determine the
meaning of an unknown word is to
restate what you believe the sentence
means in your own words.

Commas - ,
• A comma is a punctuation mark
• It tells us to take a brief pause when we are
reading – not as long as a full stop.
• It is the most common punctuation mark but
has to be used carefully.
Commas
• Commas can change the meaning of a
sentence
• Title of book
– Eats shoots and leaves.
– Eats, shoots and leaves.

hats, clocks and tablecloths.
• The old lady collected all sorts of things: silver paper,

– She stopped, stared and ran.
– Mr Cherry was a warm, hospitable man.

captain gave the alarm.
– She called as loudly as she could, but no-one
could hear her.
Different Uses - 3

left out without changing the general meaning
of the sentence.
