Common Core Standards
Grade 1
Language L.1.5.D
Distinguish shades of meaning among verbs differing in manner (e.g., look, peek, glance, stare, glare, scowl) and adjectives differing in intensity (e.g., large, gigantic) by defining or choosing them or by acting out the meanings.
Kindergartners got started on differentiating similar verbs, but first graders are upping the game by checking out differing adjectives.
