  1. Monday 8-24-09 • Classroom Compact DUE • What different ways do you communicate (text, phone [cell or land], email, twitter, snail-mail, notes, heart-to-heart)? Whom do you communicate with and why? • During journal discussion, give mini-lessons on whom/who and ([brackets] and parentheses) The “M” rule for who/whom: If you can logically answer the who/whom question with him (even if it’s “her”) you use whom; if you logically answer the question with he (even if it’s “she”), which has no “m,” then you use who. Both parentheses and brackets are usually used to give extra information. You use brackets for extra information that is already in information with parentheses (like in today’s journal prompt). It is also used inside quotation marks when something not of the quote is added.
