Teacher Winnie stands in front of a smart board.

Teacher Winnie is in her twenties, with straight brown hair in a half do. She wears glasses and a blue Homework Zone T-shirt.

She says HI I'M TEACHER
WINNIE AND TODAY
ON THE HOMEWORK
ZONE,
WE'RE GOING
TO BE LOOKING AT
EXCLAMATION
MARKS.
SO WHEN DO WE USE
EXCLAMATION MARKS?
LET'S GO TO THE
SMART BOARD AND
FIND OUT.
WELL WE USE AN
EXCLAMATION MARK
WHEN SHOWING A
STRONG FEELING.
FOR EXAMPLE,
OUCH THE BEE STUNG ME.
WELL WE WANT
TO SHOW THAT
THAT REALLY HURTS
SO I'M GOING
TO ADD AN
EXCLAMATION MARK
AFTER THE
WORD OUCH.
NORMALLY WE DON'T
HAVE ONE WORD
SENTENCES WITH
A PUNCTUATION BUT
FOR THESE WORDS
WE CALL THEM
INTERJECTION,
MEANING WE WANT TO
SHOW STRONG FEELING.
IT COULD BE
LIKE "OUCH!"
OR "WOW!,"
OR "YIPPEE!"
ANY ONE OF THOSE
EXCLAMATION MARK
WORDS THAT SHOW
A STRONG FEELING,
WE USUALLY END
IT OFF WITH
AN
EXCLAMATION MARK.
SO, "OUCH!
THE BEE
STUNG ME."
ANOTHER WAY
TO USE AN
EXCLAMATION
MARK IS WHEN WE
WANT TO SHOW A
STRONG FEELING
ABOUT THE SENTENCE
OR WHAT WE'RE
TRYING
TO SAY LIKE,
"DON'T TOUCH
THE STOVE."
NOW THAT'S
VERY IMPORTANT AND
WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT
THE READER
KNOWS THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT TO US
SO WE ADD AN
EXCLAMATION
MARK AT THE END.
"DON'T TOUCH
THE STOVE!"
IS WHAT WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE WE
HAVE WHEN
WE HAVE AN
EXCLAMATION
MARK.
SO THAT'S
TWO WAYS TO USE
EXCLAMATION
MARKS.
