Original Prompt

identifying and correcting run on sentences

This learning resource focuses on understanding and correcting run-on sentences, which are sentences improperly joining two or more independent clauses without the correct punctuation or conjunctions. It provides definitions, examples, and corrective methods, such as adding end punctuation or using a comma with a coordinating conjunction. Additionally, it features guided practice exercises where students can identify run-on sentences and fix them by rewriting them correctly. The resource also includes a 'Run-On Repair Shop' section with further examples for hands-on practice. Finally, it concludes with an 'Exit Ticket' for self-assessment, challenging students to determine if a sentence is a run-on and to correct it, thus reinforcing their learning of sentence structure and punctuation.
