When I cite sources, I write down all the information I think I will need. I use the website that Mrs.Ferrante and Mr.Kahill gave us, and I look at formats. Then I write my citation using the formats given.

Valid Source:
I don't think the website is valid because at the bottom of the page it states that it is not associated with any educational sources. The page also said, "Serving the paranoid since 1997." That makes me think that the website is not true.

Commas:

1.Use commas to separate three or more words or phrases in a series.

A.The shopping list included: apples, chips, juice and hot cocoa.

2. Use commas to indicate that a person is being addressed by name.

A. Joe, did you eat all of the pizza?

3. Use commas after phrases, clauses, or small words that introduce the main idea of your sentence.

A. "No Mom, that movie was horrible."

4. Use commas to set off words, phrases or clauses that comment on or give additional information about the main part of the sentence, or otherwise interrupt the natural flow of the sentence.

A. Hannah Johnston, my best friend, makes me laugh a lot.

5. Use commas before coordinating conjunctions such as "and," "or,", "but" that join two complete sentences, or when the comma is needed for clarity, emphasis, or contrast.

A. Maine has crazy weather, but I don't mind.

6. Use a comma before non-essential, modifying elements that follow the words and main clause and provide information that supplements or comments clauses on the basic meaning of the main clause.

A.  I cannot wait until vacation, 9 days away.

7. Use a comma between coordinate adjectives not joined by "and."

A.  Zared is a short, mean man.

8. Use a comma when noting dates and addresses.
