OuchHoorayShhOopsHmmWowYumEek
Teacher tip
Have kids act out each interjection with feeling. The exclamation point comes naturally.
How to use it
- Color-code parts of speech (nouns blue, verbs red) across the unit.
- Have kids test each answer by saying the word in a sentence.
- Read the directions aloud so the sheet is about writing, not decoding the directions.
Watch for
Memorized rules without examples. Have kids say their own example for each one.
Talk about it
- Find one of these words in a book you are reading.
- What did you change when you reread your work?
Take it further
Have kids hunt for the part of speech in a library book and list five.
