Here is the paragraph:

Most of us have had the experience of playing some kind of video game. We may have played it at an arcade, on a computer, or through a video game system that was plugging into a television set. There is many different types of video games today, but this was not always the case. William Higinbotham an employee of Brookhaven National Laboratory, is thought to be the creator of the first video game. He designs the game in 1958 as an activity for people visiting the laboratory. The game, called "Tennis for two," was much less complicated than the games we have today. Nevertheless, this simply game was the beginning of a giant industry.

  26. Here is the corrected paragraph:

    Most of us have had the experience of playing some kind of video game. We may have played it at an arcade, on a computer, or through a video game system that was plugged into a television set. There are many different types of video games today, but this was not always the case.

He designed the game in 1958 as an activity for people visiting the laboratory. The game, called "Tennis for Two," was much less complicated than the games we have today. Nevertheless, this simple game was the beginning of a giant industry.

    There are two sentences, the one that starts with "William" and the one that starts with "The game," that have dependent clauses. (The sentence that I just wrote has a dependent clause, too.) This means that what's in between the commas could not stand as its own sentence and make sense. But if the dependent clause were removed, then what remains of the sentence would make sense. That's why we needed to add a comma after Higinbotham; that comma shows the beginning of the dependent clause.

    If you have any other questions, please see me.

    Didn't notice that many mistakes in this one, but I was attracted to it since I like video games-I even have the original "Atari".

  28. Emily,

    Your homework didn't count. As I said in class, you must do the current day's work. Once other student work has been posted, that blog is "closed." I'm about to post the Saturday homework. Please complete that one; do Sunday's, too, if you like.
