(This is not a graded handout. It’s up to you if you want to complete it.)
SECTION 1: Capitalization, Punctuating Titles, Commas
FORMAT: This section on the final will be very similar to the practices and tests you’ve already completed. In other words,
you will need to punctuate sentences for correct capitalization, punctuation of titles, use of commas, and rules for
numbers. (10 questions)
NOTE: Study all of the rules of punctuation we have encountered in our bell work these past few weeks. If you’re
not sure which rules we covered, check your handouts or the weekly lesson plans on Fusion.
