1. Warm-Up: WRITE DOWN THE DEFINITION OF COMMA SPLICE, THE EXAMPLE, AND WAYS TO FIX. TOMORROW THERE WILL BE A PRACTICE.
Comma Splice: When two independent clauses are joined with only a comma. Example: Anna loves soccer, she practices everyday. Ways to fix:
Add a FANBOYS (Anna loves soccer, and she practices everyday.)
Change to a semi-colon if closely related (Anna loves soccer; she practices everyday.)
Change to a period & capitalize first letter (Anna loves soccer. She practices everyday.)
