COMMA SPLICES: THE ASSIGNMENT

Write a message to your classmates that explains comma splices and suggests how to avoid them in your writing. Consider your message as a rule sheet for your classmates -- you're explaining the rules for them to use as they prepare to revise a piece of writing. Use these example in your explanation: 

1.The car outside the football field was filled with cheering fans, as we passed by their car, they broke into the school fight song. 
2.All the dogs in the neighborhood began barking at once, I knew right away that something was wrong.

In addition, write two example sentences of your own. E-mail your explanation to me at bobtam@cdnet.cod.edu
