Four Kinds of Sentences

* The students in Language Arts Red were learning about the different kinds of sentence: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory. We imagined that they had had a really bad scoop of ice cream at the fictitious Dan and Ivan’s Icy Experience. They each wrote a persuasive letter to tell Dan and Ivan about their bad experiecnce. I challeneged them to use one of each kind of sentence – and boy, were they up to the challenge!

Dear Dan and Ivan,

Your ice cream is the worst. What do you put in it? I am not going back.
Maybe I will come back. When I come back, you ice cream better taste good. Make me good chocolate vanilla ice cream.

Signed,

Kaitlin
P.S. I want my money back. You are chumps!
