The Writer's Feelings

What are we learning today?

You will find words that show how a writer feels.

Explanation

• Look for words and phrases that show feelings.
• Fantastic! and I can't wait show excitement.
• Amazing, incredible, beautiful and spectacular are strong positive words.
• Scary is a negative word. It's quite scary can show mixed feelings.
• An exclamation mark shows strong feeling.
• Words like quite and very change how strong the feeling is.

Examples

1. Fantastic!
2. I can't wait.
3. Alaska is amazing and the mountains are incredible.
4. This was the best part of our holiday for me.

Remember!

• A fact is not a feeling.
• Ask: Is the writer excited, afraid, calm or bored?
