Learning at home is very important; it will help you become a more confident and independent learner by developing your key skills within the subject. In English the purpose of learning at home is to: Help you to find time and develop your love of reading outside of the lesson. Help you to build confidence in your writing skills. Help you to develop your proof-reading skills, which will be crucial across all subjects and in preparation for GCSEs. What do I have to do? Introduction

21. Week 5:To be completed by:______________________________What do I need to complete over the next week? Comma worksheetsRe-read chapter 5 and complete your Reading LogChapter 5 Reading ComprehensionSelf Assessment: What do I still need to practice from this section?

22. Punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language: they tell us to slow down, notice this, take a detour, or stop. of all the punctuation marks, the comma is the most used and misused. Commas can create havoc when they are in the wrong spot, and the results can be hilarious. This little dot with a tail has the power to change the meaning of a sentence by connecting things that shouldn’t be connected or breaking apart things that should stay together. How to use a comma correctlyA comma should never take the place of a full stop. It should be used to separate a main clause from a subordinate clause. It should be used when listing items, for example, I would like sausage, two eggs, beans and toast. Please note that and is used to separate the final two items though. Tip: Try to think how a passage may sound if you read it out loud – does it sound like the end of a sentence? Then you need a full stop not a comma.

23. Task Put the correct commas and full stops into the sentences below. Think – do they make sense? After we left Grandma Mummy and I skipped about in the park.Stinking bad breath swollen purple gums easy bruising bleeding eyeballs tiredness and deathWithout saying another word she hurried into the airport’s shop and bought a copy for herselfMarc was the first to recover sitting by the kitchen he had been out of the line of fire and hadn’t been hitThe choir was singing “Isn’t she lovely?” and for some reason the choir was made up of chipmunks and Libby was in charge of themWrite two examples of your own for each of the following:Subordinate clause (1):Subordinate clause (2): List (1): List (2): Marked by: Date: TS:
