Making Choices About Commas

In this discussion, we will examine choices that we make about commas in our writing. 

Initial post 

Post a paragraph from any writing you have done recently. Then identify one choice you made with regard to commas (either using a comma or not using a comma). Comment on the reasons for your choice. Are there other alternatives for punctuating the sentence that you might consider?

Guided response 

In response to another student's paragraph, identify one choice the student writer made in regard to commas (either using a comma or not using a comma), and comment on the effects of that choice. Are there other alternatives for punctuating the sentence that the writer might consider?
