What Teachers Are Saying About This Comma Rules Practice Activity:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Love this resource! My students struggle with comma usage so any little bit helps, and I love that these task cards incorporate some history into the lesson as well! Engaging, educational, and very useful! Thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I used this as a station in a rotation designed to address common writing errors based on the students' essays. Commas are always a problem. They enjoyed selecting the quotes and enjoyed the diverse group of people represented. I heard them talking about the quotes as much as the comma rules.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love the quotes chosen. This really helped keep the kids engaged and put a different spin on a common topic.
