Activity A

Directions: On a separate sheet of paper, rewrite the following paragraph, inserting commas where necessary.

We were sitting in algebra class on June 3 1999 the last class of the day when the principal's voice came over the P.A. system. "Attention class of 1999" the principal said. "I'd like to congratulate you for your hard work determination and focus this past year. Your parents should all be very proud of you and if they are not tell them to come and talk to me." When he finished speaking the whole class erupted in loud heartfelt cheering.
