Which Common Core standard does Precise Verbs and Emotions practise?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.6 — L.4.6, in the Language domain for Grade 4. The published standard reads: “Acquire and use accurately grade-appropriate general academic and domain-specific words and phrases, including those that signal precise actions, emotions, or states of being (e.g., quizzed, whined, stammered) and that are basic to a particular topic (e.g., wildlife, conservation, and endangered when discussing animal preservation).” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
