What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use adjectives to describe people, places, things, and ideas. They use adverbs to describe how an action happens.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students add accurate describing words to speaking and writing. They can explain whether a word describes a person, place, thing, or action.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may use an adjective to describe an action, such as “run quick.” They may think every adverb ends in “ly” or confuse the word being described.
How to Assess It
- Give students: “The dog barked.” Ask them to rewrite it with one adjective describing the dog and one adverb describing how it barked.
