1. I can apply grammar rules. (Bell ringer) I can analyze characters based on archetypal traits. (handout) I can identify literary elements –plot, characterization, setting, theme, point of view, and conflict. (notes/story)

2.  Examine the punctuation assessment handout (Fun ACT Prep page 57-59).  Write your answers on your bell ringer page.

3.  Answer Skill(s) Explanation  1. C Commas Use a comma to offset the introductory phrase from the main part of the sentence.  2. J Commas Use commas to separate the items in a series (LeBron James’s many accomplishments).  3. B Apostrophes Even though his name ends in –s, LeBron James is singular, not possessive; therefore, no  5. B Commas/Apostrophes This question tests two punctuation skills. First, we need commas on both sides of the phrase LeBrons football coach to offset the interruption to the main part of the sentence. Also, the word LeBrons should be possessive because it refers to his coach. Since LeBron is a singular noun, we add –‘s to show possession.  8. H Semicolons Use a semicolon to connect two complete thoughts.  10. F Commas/Apostrophes None of the four rules for using commas are relevant in this sentence. There is also no need for an apostrophe, as the noun pros is plural, not possessive.
