   Let's do an interesting craft activity. Today we will learn about newspaper blackout poetry! All you need is an old newspaper, a marker and some creativity. Choose a page that you like. I normally select the editorial page that has minimum pictures and lots of interesting words. Now, scan through the articles to find the words that you like. They should all form a meaningful sentence, when put together. Darken the rest of the words. Can you read the words now? What does it say? Mine says: When the world sleeps, I stay up dreaming.

   Declarative	Imperative	Interrogative	Exclamatory
