Exclamation Marks - PowerPoint

An educational PowerPoint presentation focuses on the correct usage of exclamation marks in sentences. It begins by identifying what an exclamation mark looks like and explaining its purpose—to indicate a sentence that expresses a strong emotion or exclamation, such as shock, anger, or amazement. For example, a simple "Help me!" showcases how an exclamation mark is used to convey urgency or a strong command.

The presentation includes interactive exercises to reinforce the learning. Students are invited to add either an exclamation mark or a full stop to a series of sentences, helping them to distinguish between statements that require emphasis and those that do not. Sentences such as "I scored a goal" or "The girl screamed 'Help me'" are used to demonstrate how the addition of an exclamation mark can change the tone of a sentence. Additionally, students are encouraged to write their own exclamatory sentences, using images for inspiration, to practice using exclamation marks to express strong feelings, like in the sentence "I love you!"
