Using This WorkbookFeatures: The suggested weekly scheduleenclosed has easy-to-manage lessons that guidethe reading, worksheets, and all assessments.The pages of this workbook are perforated andthree-hole punched so materials are easy to tearout, hand out, grade, and store. Teachers areencouraged to adjust the schedule and materialsneeded in order to best work within their uniqueeducational program.Lesson Scheduling: Students areinstructed to read the pages in the workbookand then complete the corresponding sectionprovided by the teacher. Assessments that mayinclude worksheets, activities, quizzes, andtests are given at regular intervals, with spaceto record each grade. Space is provided onthe weekly schedule for assignment dates, andflexibility in scheduling is encouraged. Teachersmay adapt the scheduled days per each uniquestudent situation. As the student completeseach assignment, this can be marked with an“X” in the box.Approximately 30 to 45 minutes per lesson, three to fourdays a weekIncludes answer keys for worksheets and testsWorksheets for each chapterTests are included to help reinforce learning and provideassessment opportunitiesDesigned for grades 9 to 12 in a one-year courseCourse DescriptionThis book is broken into two basic sections; the first section is designed to teach what I call majorpunctuation. The second section of the book, general punctuation, covers all punctuation, includingmajor punctuation. Major punctuation deals with complete ideas linked together one after another. Majorpunctuation also deals with sentences being combined by adding or linking one to another in one sentence.It has been suggested that 75 to 90 percent of the punctuation errors made by people in their writing aremajor punctuation errors. Learn this section well, and the rest of the book will be far easier.4 Jensen’s Punctuation

Course Objectives and Course IntroductionStudents completing this course should be made aware of the following:1. Regarding the major punctuation section, three basic assumptions are made relative to a student’s abilityto function with success. The first assumption is that one can regularly discern between complete thoughts, which are alsocalled sentences, and incomplete thoughts, which are also called fragments. The second assumption is that one can recognize three very limited sets of words. The third assumption is that one will be able to associate and apply the five basic rules given in the book.2. Right after this introduction, one will find the rules section. It is placed here because it makes it easy tofind later for reference. When the student has finished the major punctuation section, he or she will beinstructed to come back to the rules section. One will do best to concentrate on just the five rules for major punctuation first.3. Care should be taken to work through this book in the proper fashion. The method is fashioned on theconcept that SPACED REPETITION IS THE KEY TO LEARNING.4. When you write a sentence that you find difficult to punctuate properly, that is a probable sign that youneed to rewrite the sentence or break it up into smaller sentences.5. For the major punctuation section, make a help card like that shown to help yourself. Do this right away.The material on the card will become clear as you work through the first section. Have it in sight, whereyou can refer to it while doing the exercises and later when you write yourself. Conscientious use of thiscard will help you master the system. As time goes by, your need for the card diminishes as the materialbecomes more natural to you. You can memorize the items initially, but it will happen automaticallythrough constant use anyway.Put this on a three-by-five colored card; that way youcan easily find it. After a time, you won’t need it, but it’sgood to have for a reference. Note that not all possiblekey words are listed, just the more common ones. The# in front of the rule is the number of the rule in thepunctuation notes index. Students should read the rulesand give the page numbers of where they can find them.#11I, c/c IFANBOYS#13Sub I, Iif, as, when, though, although,because, so that, since, before, after,I sub Iunless, where, while, whereashowever, nevertheless, thus,#24therefore, hence, moreover,I; c/a, Iconsequently, for example6. As you move into the second section of the book,use the punctuation notes index. Keep it where you#23 I; I NO key wordscan use it on the exercises and when you write foryourself. The full set of rules with examples are forreference. You don’t need to know them all; you just need to know where to look them up.7. Rather than a series of random sentences such as are found in most grammar exercises, this text usesvarious stories and episodes from history in an attempt to make the sentences say something as a group.8. In certain situations in the second section of the book, more than one punctuation rule might apply.Usually one will override the other. Sometimes even good writers and grammarians disagree as to whethera punctuation mark is needed or why it is appropriate in a particular case. The English language is capableof many constructions and meanings. Be aware that even a few instances in this book may be cause fordiscussion and perhaps disagreement. Whatever position you take, however, needs to be justifiable with a rule.Jensen’s Punctuation 5

Teacher Notes1. Spaced repetition is the teacher in this book. To be effective, the students should do at least one lessonevery other day, but a lesson per day is better. At no time should you allow the students to sit down andwork through a number of exercises. That destroys the methodology.2. For the first section, encourage the students to make the help card. For the second section, remove thepunctuation notes index. Each student should have it available on all exercises and tests. It helps thelearning process and gives students greater confidence.3. Numerous methods or options are available to take scores on the daily lessons. These same methods canbe applied to tests. By the way, any review exercise or regular exercise can become a test simply by callingit a test instead of an exercise. ethod A counts each sentence as a single item. In that case the student should get the whole sentenceMright in order to get the point. ethod B counts each segment in the answer as unit. For an example from section two, let’s look at thisMhypothetical answer: tracks, and 11 Jones, who . . . father, was 9. There are two segments in our sampleanswer. You can count each segment as a single point; again, the student should get the complete answerto get the point. In this case, two points would be possible.4. To translate the raw score into a grade, we suggest establishing a percentage basis for the grades and thenfiguring the percentage of the number right out of the total possible. Let’s use this simple grading scale asour example: 90% A, 80–89% B, 70–79% C, 60–69% D, 59% or less F. Again for examplepurposes, we will take 23 as the number of possible correct responses on the assignment. Remember,the number of correct responses with be determined by method A, or B, whichever you decide to use.Count up the number of correct responses the student makes on the assignment. Let’s say for purposes ofillustration that the student got 19 correct on this exercise. Divide 19 by 23; the percentage is roughly 83percent, which is a B according to the scale we adopted. That’s all there is to it. Dividing the number ofcorrect responses by the total possible will give a number in decimal form that converts to a percentageby moving the decimal point two places. The two scenarios: The exercise has 18 sentences and 27 changes. We’ll use the scale given above. Method A: Student got 15 of the 18 sentences correct.15 18 83% B Method B: Student got 23 of the 27 items correct.23 27 85% B6 Jensen’s Punctuation

5. In section one, you will probably want to go through each rule as it is introduced; the next four exercisesin each section should need no explanation. In section two it would be beneficial to go over all the rules with them in some fashion. The portions on the dash, parentheses, brackets, hyphen, and the first four end punctuation rules canbe skipped since almost no items in any of the exercises deal with these symbols. Be sure to cover the rules that are marked with the asterisk; they will need to know these since theyare quite common and show up continuously.6. Initially the exercises will take some time since the student is not familiar with the rules and when touse them. Things do improve, but plan accordingly. Some moans and groans from students are to beexpected at the beginning because it is a lot of work for them. As they master the material, it takes lesstime, is less frustrating, and becomes easier for them. Again, spaced repetition is the teacher. They learn by doing.7. The pages entitled General Punctuation Rules will be a good reference tool for their future. As students,my classmates and I were not allowed the index, which I have provided. Even with the index, however,the users of this book will memorize the more common rules through constant use.8. Not all constructions fit into neat little packages with a single rule attached. In some cases, two answersare given. That means that either one could be considered correct; there is evidence that both rules couldapply. In those cases, you would give credit for either rule as the correct answer. If the student can makea plausible case for a rule when the book does not give it, you might award the point, but it would beon a case-by-case basis. You will have to use good judgment in such cases. One case where the lines bluris that of the appositive when it has its own modifiers. Sometimes it is clearly an appositive, but longerappositives may slide over into the non-essential category quite easily.9. When it comes to writing, even the experts will disagree about punctuation in some situations. Part of itis style. Some favor punctuating whenever a possibility occurs; others tend to under punctuate. Here is atypical situation for illustration.The boat rocking to and fro in the water was filled with all manner of fishing equipment.The boat, rocking to and fro in the water, was filled with all manner of fishing equipment.S ome people would place commas around the participial phrase following the subject as shown by thesecond sentence. Others will not generally separate such modifiers when they follow the word theymodify. A case can be made for either preference. Grammarians and writers agree on the rule but argueover its implementation.Jensen’s Punctuation 7

SENTENCESAND FRAGMENTSA sentence has acompleteness of action;it has a finality to it. Itdoes not need to goon to make sense; thethought is finished.In this manual we willcall such a sentence anINDEPENDENT CLAUSEand will abbreviate itwith the letter I. Youshould now see that thefollowing equation is anequality with all threeterms really meaning thesame thing.I independent clause sentence complete thoughtLESSON 1This section can be gone over lightly if you have athorough understanding of what makes a sentence andwhat does not. Be warned, it is best to review it quicklyrather than bypass it altogether.First, we need to define a SENTENCE. It generally consists of at least twowords that perform the two basic functions in sentences. Those two wordsare a NOUN and a VERB; they generally identify the SUBJECT and theACTION being taken.Babies cry.Of course, many sentences are much longer than two words. In certain cases,depending upon the verb, there must be something following the verb tocomplete the sentence. Objects, predicate nouns, and predicate adjectives arethe three most common constructions that are necessary to fill out sentencesto completeness.John threw (the ball).Hank is (a player).Bill is (happy).In each case above, the material in parentheses is necessary to completethe thought. We want to know what John threw, who Hank is, and whatcondition Bill is in. The main point is that sentences as a general rule do notexist without both a subject (noun) and a true main verb. A constructionwithout a subject or main verb is not a sentence.Sometimes a single noun subject may not be obvious. In such a case, look fora phrase that is acting as the subject. The word it can usually be substitutedfor such a subject.Running in the snow is fun.In the example, running in the snow is the subject; the word it could easilysubstitute for the phrase and still have the sentence make sense.Grammariansplease notethat imperativesentences with thesubject understood— (You) Take outthe trash! — don’tviolate the aboverule since thesubject is inherentlypresent.Second, we need to define a FRAGMENT. A fragment is not a sentence; it is less than a sentence. It is a group of words that is incomplete in thought. As a group of words, it shows a dependency on other thoughts. It wants some other information to make it complete. It may lack a subject, or it may lack a main verb. It may have bothbut be dependent. In short, it is only a piece or fragment of a wholesentence. We will identify such a construction as FRAG.Jensen’s Punctuation 15

Let’s look at some typical fragments as described on the previous page.#1 seven men in a row playing happily#2a driving through the rain on a mountain road#2b to eat four apple pies with ice cream at one time#3 the ring that my brother boughtAll of the above examples are fragments; none of them are sentences. Let’slook at each of them in turn. The first example has a subject, men, but nomain verb. Playing modifies men; it needs a helping verb to become themain verb in that sentence.NOTEFragments are generallyphrases or clauses. Oneproblem occurs when aphrase or clause has averb in it that is not usedas the main verb. Theproblem verb may befunctioning as a modifier(participle) or a noun(gerund or infinitive), or itmay have its own internalsubject (relative clause).-ING words without a form of BE (is, am, are, was, were, be,being, been) are NOT main verbs; they are verbals, which youmay also know as participles or gerunds.Example #2a has no true verb; it is incomplete. The same can be said ofexample #2b. The final example, #3, has a good subject, ring, but the verbbought goes with the noun brother. The problem word is that; it puts mybrother bought into a relative clause so that ring still needs a verb.an old and very generous man from the countrysideOther constructionsthat sometimes causeproblems are longprepositional phrases ornouns with a number ofmodifiers. Again we willsee that no true verb ispresent.over the river and through the woods to the cottageIn the first example there is a subject, man, but no verb exists. In thesecond example there is no subject or verb; all the nouns are objects of theirrespective prepositions.A further construction that is often confusing is the adverbial clause.In this case, there is a complete sentence with a SUBORDINATOR stuckon the front; this causes the original sentence to become dependent on orsubordinate to another sentence.when we go to townIn the example we have a complete sentence with a subject, we, and a verbgo, but the word when is a subordinator. It causes the sentence to want togo on and explain the condition or result established by the word when.In sum then, we have two types of constructions, a complete thought orsentence, and an incomplete thought or fragment. It is absolutely necessaryto tell the difference between the two in order to master major punctuation.SENTENCE complete thoughtFRAGMENT incomplete thought16 Jensen’s Punctuation

Jensen’sPunctuationSentences andFragmentsDay 3Lesson 1Worksheet 1NameShort AnswersDIRECTIONS: Your job in the exercises in this section is simple yet crucial to understanding this methodof learning and applying the rules of major punctuation. All you need to do is identify whether the item is acomplete sentence, I, or a fragment, FRAG. An answer key with some explanations is provided at the backof the manual. All items in this section were adapted from the novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.CONTENT WARNING: Because of the nature of the story that deals with events during the FrenchRevolution, some of the passages do contain portions of violence.1. the Dover mail was in its usual position2. everyone suspected everyone3. the horses that were struggling through the mud4. the passengers walking alongside the coach in the darkness5. after the coachman whipped the horse6. they topped the ridge7. when the horses stopped to breathe again8. as the guard got down to skid the wheel9. the coachman who was looking down from his box10. leaving his hold of the door and mounting nimbly to his place11. the sound of a horse at gallop up the hill12. he cocked his blunderbuss13. one passenger who was on the coach step and about to get in14. two other passengers were close behind and about to follow him15. everyone waited16. through the mist and the darkness below the ridge17. the guard yelled out18. in the dark and dank mist of the foggy night19. with much splashing and floundering20. a man’s voice called from the mist 17

Thermal system engineering is not usually thought of as a first rank engineering discipline as Mechanical, Civil, Electrical and Chemical Engineering, and it is usually ascribed to the leading one (like Aerospace, Naval, and Automotive Engineering) because the paradigmatic thermal systems has always been the heat engine, but its importance pervades all other branches (e.g. thermal control .
