Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Judge the end punctuation used in a sentence.
Recognize excitement, surprise, and other strong feelings in sentences.
Explain how an exclamation mark changes the emphasis of a sentence.

Teaching tips

Begin with sheet 1: it is the only page whose sentences already carry punctuation, so students judge rather than write, which makes it the gentlest entry point
Bring out sheet 2 when students are over-using the exclamation mark — it explicitly asks students to choose between the exclamation mark and a period
Pair sheet 5 with a feelings-vocabulary lesson; it asks students to say what type of feeling is expressed before the mark goes in

Skills covered

End-punctuation choice through sentence reading and rewriting
Recognizing and naming strong feelings
Proofreading already-punctuated sentences

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What do the tick and cross on the first sheet stand for?

Sentences on sheet 1 already carry end punctuation, and students mark a ✔ where it fits the sentence and a ✘ where it does not. "Where are you going?" and "Watch out!" sit alongside flatly punctuated lines such as "I'm so excited for this weekend.", so the decision is about whether the mark used matches the feeling.

Is there a page that contrasts the exclamation mark with another punctuation mark?

Sheet 2 does. Its instruction is to decide whether the sentence needs an exclamation mark or a period and rewrite it correctly, mixing lines like "That's incredible" and "I don't believe it" with flat ones like "It's time to go home". Sheet 1 also mixes end punctuation, including a question mark, for students to judge. The remaining formats focus on adding exclamation marks where appropriate.

Do sentences repeat across the six sheets?

A few do, which makes the later sheets usable as revision. "I can't believe it" appears on sheets 4 and 6, "That's incredible" on sheets 2 and 6, and the "Watch out" construction turns up three times in different forms — "Watch out!", "Watch out for that car" and "Watch out for that tree".
