Practice your commas by playing the Comma IQ Game!  Tell me what your final score was by commenting below.

Then, use some commas correctly in a blog post. Choose a topic from below:

A. Animals that eat plants are called herbivores. Pick an herbivore to research and write about. Include pictures and links.

B. In movies cowboys seem to be portrayed mainly as heroes or criminals. Look up Western Movies (you can use the Internet Movie Database) or research stories from the Old West and pick a cowboy to blog about. Write about the cowboy or cowgirl. Tell how he/she is described in movies and what your impressions are of him/her. Include links and pictures.

C. Research the place where you'd like to take your dream vacation. Plan a one week trip there and blog about it. Post links to hotels and sites you'd like to visit.

For every comma used correctly in your post, I will add a point to your class total. Every incorrectly used comma will subtract a point from your class total.

Questions? Just holler!
