Name Mechanics and Usage: Commas Date Extend 38 Commas are like road signs that tell you to slow down but not to stop. They may seem hard to place correctly, but they make reading easier. Try your hand at placing comma “signs” in the sentences below where they are needed. 1. Was it Isaac Newton Isaac Hayes or Isaac Stern who experimented with light? 2. Radio waves X rays and light are all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. 3. Come here Luke and look at light through this prism. 4. Yes Lucy a rainbow does separate sunlight into different colors. 5. An object can be transparent translucent or opaque. 6. Well no reflection and refraction are not the same thing. 7. Yes sometimes people include indigo in the color spectrum. 8. Doris did you know that sunlight reaches Earth in about eight minutes? 9. Well yes I knew that. 10. Would you use a telescope a telephone or a microscope to look at the stars? 11. Oh that’s easy. 12. Corinne have you ever seen the northern lights? 13. No we live too far south. 14. The moon Venus and Mars do not shine with their own light. 15. No they don’t. McGraw-Hill School Division 38 At Home: The style of most newspapers omits the last comma in a series. Sometimes the omission leads to a misreading. Look in a newspaper for sentences with series commas to see if they are clear.

Name Mixed Review Date Extend 39 The following is a brief introductory selection from a travel brochure. It is written in the present tense. On a separate sheet of paper, using the first person (I), rewrite the selection in the past tense. You have to see for yourself the strange beauty of the high Mojave Desert of California. You drive west from Los Angeles on Interstate 10, then turn north onto Interstate 15. You go through the San Gabriel Mountains in the national forest near the Mt. Baldy ski area. Emerging a few miles east of the San Bernardino–Los Angeles County border, you come upon a vastly different landscape. In an area called the Devil’s Punchbowl, you marvel at the rugged pink rock formations that run along the San Andreas Fault. You explore dry lakes with cracked beds and ghost mining towns. You visit living towns, too, with picturesque names such as Pearblossom, Apple Valley, and Hesperia. You even see Joshua trees without going all the way to the Joshua Tree National Monument. And in the distance you can still see the forested and snow-covered slopes through which you drove. If you travel as far as Barstow, Interstate 15 curves sharply to the east and heads on toward Las Vegas. But that is another story. McGraw-Hill School Division McGraw-Hill Language Arts Grade 5, Unit 3, Mixed Review, pages 180–181 At Home: Rewrite the story in the future tense in the second person. Critical Thinking 39
