What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use words that show location, time, direction, or relationships between people, places, and things. They select words that make spoken and written sentences clear.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can choose a preposition that clearly matches a picture, movement, time, or location. They can use it correctly in a complete spoken or written sentence.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may confuse pairs such as in and into, or on and over. They may also mix up to and too, or leave out the noun after a preposition.
How to Assess It
- Show a picture of a cat under a chair and a ball beside the chair. Ask students to write two sentences describing the objects' locations.
