Commas | Punctuation Rules
Commas and periods are the most frequently used punctuation marks. Commas customarily indicate a brief pause; they're not as final as periods. Rule 1. Use commas to separate words and word groups in a simple series of three or more items. Example: My estate goes to my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and nephew. Note: When the last comma in a series comes before and or or (after daughter-in-law in the above example), it is known as the Oxford comma. Example: We had coffee, cheese and crackers and grapes. Adding a comma after crackers makes it clear that cheese and crackers represents one dish. We had coffee, cheese and crackers, and grapes. Fiction and nonfiction books generally prefer the Oxford comma. Rule 2. Example: He is a strong, healthy man. Example: We stayed at an expensive summer resort. Another way to determine if a comma is needed is to mentally put and between the two adjectives. Rule 3a. Incorrect: He walked all the way home, he shut the door. There are several simple remedies:

Grimm's law
Sound shift in the Germanic languages Grimm's law (also known as the First Germanic Sound Shift) is a set of statements first systematically put forward by Jacob Grimm but first remarked upon by Rasmus Rask describing the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) stop consonants as they developed in Proto-Germanic (the common ancestor of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family) in the 1st millennium BC. It establishes a set of regular correspondences between early Germanic stops, fricatives and the stop consonants of certain other centum Indo-European languages (Grimm used mostly Latin and Greek for illustration). History[edit] Grimm's law was the first discovery of a systematic sound change, and it led to the creation of historical phonology as a separate discipline of historical linguistics. Overview[edit] Grimm's law consists of three parts which form consecutive phases in the sense of a chain shift.[1] The phases are usually constructed as follows: Further changes[edit] Examples[edit]

My Students Help Assess My Teaching
By Larry Ferlazzo "Today is an opportunity for you to challenge and push me to become a better teacher, and a time for you to challenge and push yourselves to be better learners." So I began my ninth-grade English class one day before the winter break. Our faculty, under Principal Ted Appel, has been working with Kelly for some years. This chance to closely examine my teaching "at a distance" has been one of the most significant professional-development experiences I’ve had. A Transformative Experience Kelly, who directs the Pebble Creek Labs, accepted my invitation to share the video and our critique in the presence of my students. What I didn’t anticipate was how transformative this one-hour class period was going to become. Kelly began with a quick review for students—using both text and images—of the culture of a Pebble Creek Lab classroom. •Leaning In—When we are engaged, we are learning forward, not slouching back. •Who’s Doing the Work? Kelly immediately asked me, "Mr. "Mr. "Mr.
