Strong Feelings

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on the use of exclamation marks to express strong emotion in imperative sentences and sentences with interjections. It includes two sections, each accompanied by a different illustration: one of a coach and the other of an elephant performing an act. The first section asks students to write three imperative sentences about what the coach might be saying, expressing strong emotion. The second part prompts students to write three sentences with interjections that reflect what an audience might think about the elephant’s act, also expressing strong emotion.

The goal of the worksheet is to educate students on crafting sentences that convey a strong emotional tone using exclamation marks. It specifically focuses on the use of imperative sentences, which are commands or requests, and interjections, which are abrupt remarks, both of which can carry strong emotional weight. By having students create their own sentences inspired by the images, the worksheet encourages them to explore how language can be used to express urgency, excitement, or other strong feelings. This practice will enhance the students’ understanding of how punctuation and word choice work together to convey emotion in writing.
