The following article has been modified, though, and has also had all it’s commas removed. Students need to edit the article by placing commas in all the right places. Note, in order to achieve this, they will have to consider the content – by making assumptions about what the writer is trying to say. Just make sure you can back up your choices with the rules in the lesson. (Hint – there is at least one place in the article for each rule where commas SHOULD go.)
