Writing sentences - we are working at increasing our accuracy of written communication.                      - we are using this as a guideline...

How To Write Complete Sentences

Criteria	Check
My sentence begins with an uppercase letter.
My sentence ends with a period, exclamation point, or a question mark.
All lowercase letters are formed correctly (tall letters are tall, short letters are short, and letters that are supposed to be written below the line are written below the line).
My sentence has at least one subject (the ‘who’ or what part of the sentence).
My sentence has a predicate (the details / what is happening part).

Correct grammar usage and proper spelling are essential pieces as well. 

.................................................................................................
