Students will learn how to set up a sentence diagram and how to assign each word in a sentence a part of speech. We will cover the following: - nouns / subjects - verbs - helping verbs - adjectives - adverbs - articles / determiners - prepositions - prepositional, adverbial, and adjectival phrases - coordinating conjunctions - fixing run-on sentences - compound sentences - linking verbs - predicate adjectives and nominatives - direct objects - indirect objects
I am a licensed 5-12 English Teacher. I spent 4 years in a public school, and I taught sentence diagramming to many students.
Students will not have much homework. I may assign a sentence or two for students to diagram between classes, but it should not take them more than 15-20 minutes to complete.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Learners will be assessed through the sample sentences that we work through together. I will also assess with short quizzes periodically.
1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
