What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students select and use a reflexive pronoun when the subject acts on itself or does something without help. They make the pronoun agree with the person or group named.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students correctly use words such as myself, herself, ourselves, and themselves in sentences. They match each reflexive pronoun to its noun or subject and avoid nonstandard forms.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may use nonstandard forms such as “hisself” or “theirselves.” They may also choose a reflexive pronoun that does not match the subject, or use one where an object pronoun belongs.
How to Assess It
- Give this exit ticket: “Maya taught ___ to juggle. The twins made lunch by ___. Write the correct pronoun in each blank and explain one choice.”
