Turtlebiscuit
Directions: Turtle racing is a sport that takes awhile! Legends of the sport reach no higher
than Turtlebiscuit, the greatest racing turtle to ever pack a shell. His achievements speak for
themselves: the first turtle to win a major race after the age of 70, the first turtle to carry a
jockey (a snail by the name of Roger), and the first turtle to complete the dangerous Santa
Tortoise Raceway in under five days. Turtlebiscuit has lived up to some shell-shocking
expectations. Write the heart-wrenching story of Turtlebiscuit. Tell everything-the good, the
bad, the ugly (but not too much ugly because under that hard shell beats the sensitive heart
of a champion). In your paragraph, use a declarative, exclamatory, imperative, and
interrogative sentence.
