How to Use This Pack

Five worksheets that take turns through the activities. Pages 1 and 4: students circle the sentence whose end mark shows the feeling asked for. Pages 2 and 5: students write the end mark that shows the feeling in the box. Page 3: students circle what each end mark shows. Every answer is worked out from the sentences themselves, and the answer keys mark each one.

In the Classroom

Read one sentence four ways, once for each end mark, and let the class guess the mark from your voice.

At Home

Text each other the same sentence with different end marks and talk about how it changes.

Tips for Success

  • A period is calm
  • A question mark asks
  • An exclamation point shows strong feeling
  • An ellipsis trails off
  • Check the answer key

Punctuation for Effect

4th Grade

End marks that show how a sentence is said: excited, asking, calm, or trailing off. Students choose the sentence whose mark shows a feeling, write the mark that fits, and tell what a mark shows.
