Chuck and Sarah GOT MARRIED! (I love you and your spoilers!)

Grammar:


Great class today!  All of your grammar skills seem to be improving rapidly.  I’m so glad, particularly since next week, we’ll review commas in class and then take a quiz.  Have your parents look over your comma usage to make sure you understand how to use them effectively.

We reviewed some comma usage, capitalization, quotation marks, and underlining.  Here’s a website about italics and underlining…http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/punctuation/when/when-to-italicize.html

Short stories, poems, chapters of books, and songs are all placed in quotation marks, i.e. “Amazing Grace.”  (if it’s written)

Books, magazines, albums, and movies are underlined, i.e The Lion King.

We’ll complete p. 637 of Easy Grammar in class so don’t worry about completing that one.
