What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify words or short phrases that show a quick feeling or reaction. They add a fitting interjection to a sentence or brief dialogue and use appropriate punctuation.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can find the interjection in a sentence and tell what feeling or reaction it shows. They can choose and punctuate an interjection that fits a given situation.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think any word followed by an exclamation point is an interjection. They may also choose a reaction that does not match the situation or add exclamation points to every example.
How to Assess It
- Give students this prompt: “___! I forgot my lunch.” Ask them to add an interjection, name the feeling, and write another example.
