Dear Sentence,

We have been friends now for a long time and I would just like you to know how much you are loved by me. I know I'm not the only one you use. I've seen the others, exclamation point and period! They do not bother me. I am the only one who can help you find the answers that you seek. I keep our relationship exciting and new. There is only one thing I would be lost without and that is you. Without your beginning there would be no need for me at the end. This is why I'm thanking you again my friend. We are the best combination you and I. Together we will ask wonderful questions through all time.

Sincerely,
Question Mark



Capable Writers


Capable writers identify the topic and write a good introduction. They are interested in the topic but, sometimes the writing is unbalanced and needs a little work, but the reader can understand what is written.

Power Paragraph Structure.

Some quotations or citations are used to capture exact wording.

Diction: Word choice is adequate to get the point across,

Fluency: Most sentences are organized but the writer used simple sentences and verbs.

Voice: The reader can tell that the writer is interested in the topic.

The reader would say, "This is good writing, but could be better!"

The reader occasionally finds spelling, grammar and punctuation errors, but the errors don't interfere with understanding the writer’s paper.

  1. I love the way your RAFT made it sound like a love letter and I like how you said the question mark makes things exciting and new. I don't know if I would have been able to think of something like that.
