Commas can be used to contrast opposites in a sentence written in phrase form, as in "The tutor was very friendly, not mean and scary the way Peta expected." Commas are also used to separate elements in a list and parts of a sentence introducing direct speech, such as "This is my favourite story, Peta told her tutor." However, commas should not be overused as it makes the writing difficult to read, similar to overusing full stops. The document provides examples of correct comma usage and a warning against overusing commas.

Becky's reading reflection
Becky's reading reflectionMelissa den Elzen
油
Becky read a chapter from a book her class was assigned and had to record herself reading aloud. She felt nervous reading into a microphone but thought it was good to listen to her own reading to identify mistakes. In her reflection, Becky noted she needs to work on speaking more slowly, using better expression, pausing at punctuation marks, speaking louder and more clearly. She plans to practice these skills at home and school.7P EOL Rules for Quotation Marks

Davin took an English Composition course expecting to write long essays but found the course different than expected. He learned to properly use grammar and write complete essays. While initially confident in his writing abilities from his job, he discovered room for improvement in his grammar and punctuation. Through assignments requiring summaries and essays, his writing improved as he revised his work based on instructor feedback. He received high grades but wishes he could have attended more live lectures due to his work schedule. Davin believes he applied skills from other courses, like being creative and managing time well. He will use the writing skills learned in this course for future classes and career.Mr. Mouse

The poem describes a classroom taught by Mr. Mouse in a tree. Each day, Mr. Mouse would take attendance, share new things to learn, and teach lessons to his students, a group of mice. While the students sometimes talked out of turn, making Mr. Mouse sad, he was a patient teacher who wanted his students to learn, grow smart, and be kind. Mr. Mouse would tell funny jokes to make the lessons enjoyable and time would fly by each day until it was time to say goodbye. The students learned a lot from Mr. Mouse and were ready to continue learning if they didn't talk out of turn.Amy A's reading reflection

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.
Commas2
- 2. Contrasts A comma can show where there are opposites in a sentence, especially when written in phrase form. The tutor was very friendly, not mean and scary the way Peta expected. The students wanted to write a research paper, but the tutor had asked for a short story.
- 3. Speech A comma is used at the end of sentences when people are speaking as there will be a full stop later on. This is my favourite story, Peta told her tutor. We cant eat till lunchtime, his mother said, but we set the table.
- 4. Warning! Be careful, not to, overuse, commas, because, it is so, hard to read, just like. Full stops. Revise this PowerPoint and the one from last week to prepare for the punctuation test.
