commas were owning me

This week we covered a lot of subjects that dealt with commas. I knew that it was something that I had to pay strict attention to as I absolutely fail at commas. I mean fail! I really enjoy the idea of minilessons and found that they did a good job teaching in the classroom. This week we talked about FANBOYS, and we discussed AAWWWIBBIS. These were both very helpful in my continuing struggle to discover what to do with commas. I loved that we used the sentences that Sam and I made during magnetic poetry it truly made the lesson so much better. I hope to apply something like the sentence bank in my classroom as I teach grammar. I would like to say thanks for making the due date later as it was very difficult to find examples right away. As we showed examples in class finding these problems became a lot simpler. Also, looking through previous scrapbooks really helped give me more ideas of what to look for seeing as we haven't covered all the mistakes that are made in grammar. I also have started to make a chart in the back of my notebook like the one on the white board to make sure that I keep these ideas/rules with me as I continue writing. I have to admit that I still am worried about using the comma, and that these lessons confused me briefly but I think it has been made much more clearer to me. So for my question this week when you are going to apply a comma into a sentence can you always base where it needs to go on the structure of the sentence?
