i need help with grammar?

Question

How would i combine these sentences with out comma splices.
1. Another way to create student interest in historical events is to use primary sources instead of so-called comprehensive textbooks. Autobiographies, journals, and diaries can give students insight into larger issues.
2. Students can also be challenged to think about history by taking sides in a debate. They can learn more about connections among historical events by writing essays than by taking multiple-choice tests.
3. Finally, history teachers should be less concerned about specific history details. They should be more concerned about conveying the wonder of history.

Answer 1

1. Another way to create student interest in historical events is to use primary sources such as autobiographies, journals, and dairies which can give students insight into larger issues instead of using so- called comprehensive textbooks.
2. Students can also be challenged to think about history by taking sides in a debate thus learning more about connections among historical events by writing essays than by taking multiple - choice tests.
3. Finally, history teachers should be less concerned about specific history details and should be more concerned about conveying the wonder of history.
The last two were easy because all you have to do is add a connective word.

Answer 2

Well, most of the time, just and a conjuction. The 2nd sentence of #1 lists examples stated in the sentence before it.

Another way to create student interest in historical events is to use primary sources instead of so-called comprehensive textbooks SUCH AS autobiographies, journals, and diaries WHICH can give students insight into larger issues.

Or add a semi-colon to combine 2 sentences with the same idea:
Students can also be challenged to think about history by taking sides in a debate; They can learn more about connections among historical events by writing essays than by taking multiple-choice tests.

This sentence could be re-arranged into a balanced sentence, since you have the phrase "less concerned" in the first sentence and "more concerned" in the second.
Finally, history teachers should be less concerned about specific history details AND more concerned about conveying the wonder of history.


* Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

1. Another way to create student interest in historical events is to use primary sources--instead of so-called comprehensive textbooks--along with autobiographies, journals, and diaries to give students insight into larger issues.
2. You should leave these two sentences alone; they are fine. They don't really work well combined.
3. Finally, history teachers should be less concerned about specific history details; they should be more concerned about conveying the wonder of history.

Answer 4

1. Another way to create student interest in historical events is to use primary sources like autobiographies, journals, and diaries instead of so-called comprehensive textbooks

2. Students can learn more about connections among historical events by writing essays and taking sides in lively debates.

3. Finally, history teachers should be more concerned about conveying the wonder of history than specific history details.

Answer 5

#3 is easy. Take out the first period as well as "They should be" and add "add". So you have "Finally, history teachers should be less concerned about specific history details and more concerned about conveying the wonder of history."

#2 I suggest this possibility. Take out the first period, uncapitalize "They", and add "where" between "debate" and "they". So you have "Students can also be challenged to think about history by taking sides in a debate where they can learn more about connections among historical events by writing essays than by taking multiple-choice tests.

#1 is harder. It's already lengthy as two separate sentences but if that's what the teacher wants. I'm not really sure about this one. Perhaps if you take out the first period, uncapitalize "Autobiographies", and add either "and", "or", or "but" in between "textbooks" and "autobiographies". I personally such "and" but you may want to see what answer someone else gives.

BTW FYI, "with out" is actually one word - "without". :)

Answer 6

1. Another way to create student interest in historical events is to use primary sources instead of so-called comprehensive textbooks. Autobiographies, journals, and diaries can give students insight into larger issues.

Using primary sources, such as autobiographies, journals, and diaries can give students insight into larger issues and create interest in historical events rather than using comprehensive textbooks.

Answer 7

first of all its not a comma splice- its a semi-colon

and you shouldnt combined them unless you want huge points off for run ons.

Answer 8

You could use a semicolon where periods are. Lowercase the next word, and they're perfectly good sentences, if rather long.

Answer 9

Yes, you do need help with grammar. Actually, you need help with punctuation.

Answer 10

points!!
