If you've got half the class on your side, congratulations! Try looking at the Purdue "OWL" website - sorry I don't have the URL, but perhaps with Owl in the search string, you can find it. You can download things with copyright ok, provided you don't alter them and leave the copyright on. You can get handouts and exercises that include fragment recognition. Good luck - jan [log in to unmask] instructor, developmental writing, Roosevelt University Chicago suburban campus posted 10-8
