For the parent. Your child has been learning about interjections. There is a short quiz tomorrow. It is low stakes and not graded — it is so the teacher can see who needs a little more help.
For you. Tomorrow's quiz is about interjections. Here is what is on it.
Interjection
What your child has been taught to say:
A interjection is a word that jumps out to show a feeling.
The question they ask themselves:
“Could it stand on its own with an exclamation mark?”
Hey! Come and look at this. → interjection
Ask “Could it stand on its own with an exclamation mark?” — it works, so it is interjection.
Oh no! → interjection
Ask “Could it stand on its own with an exclamation mark?” — it works, so it is interjection.
Watch for this: Calls any exclamation-marked sentence an interjection — “Is the WHOLE sentence the feeling word, or just the first bit?”
Try these together
These are new sentences — your child has not seen them. Five minutes is plenty.
Aha!
Aha! I found it.
Answers — for the grown-up helping
| 1 | the interjection |
| 2 | the interjection |
If it is hard: Pick up any book and read one sentence together. Ask the question in the blue box about one word in it. Five minutes is plenty — and if it is still hard tomorrow, please tell the teacher; there is a practice sheet for exactly this.
