Good writers use a variety of sentences when they write. There are FOUR different types of sentences that writers can use: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory. To understand each type of sentence, look at the graphic above OR look in your class notes. You have a quiz on types of sentences on Friday September 23rd. On the quiz, you will have to identify types of sentences and you will have to read sentences and determine the correct ending punctuation mark. (? ! . ) On Monday, I will give you a practice packet to complete to help you prepare for the quiz.These websites will help you practice the four types of sentences:

Take a book hunt. Look at how authors use the different types of sentences in their writing. Find an example of each type of sentence.
At the end of your response, please cite your source. Tell me what book your sentences came from. (It is fine to use more than one book.)
