comma use lesson for 5th grade

This resource focuses on mastering the use of commas in writing, specifically in three key scenarios: items in a series, compound sentences, and after introductory words. It begins with explicit goals and objectives, guiding learners through the correct application of comma rules. For items in a series, learners will distinguish how to separate three or more items with commas, ensuring proper use of the Oxford comma. In compound sentences, the resource clarifies the importance of placing a comma before coordinating conjunctions (like ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘or’, ‘so’) to connect independent clauses. It also outlines the need for commas after introductory words or phrases to enhance clarity in sentences. The document includes practice exercises, examples, and opportunities for independent writing, aimed at reinforcing the mastery of comma usage.
