Class Experience

Welcome!  This class is an exploration into the world of sentence diagramming. In this course, we equip students with the essential tools to unravel sentence structures with confidence to greatly improve grammar skills.

Sentence diagramming cultivates critical thinking, guiding students to decode the intricate puzzle of each word's place within a sentence. As students grasp this skill, their writing naturally flourishes. This methodology transcends rote memorization, nurturing a deep-rooted comprehension of grammatical mechanics.

This class is tailored for older learners (middle and high school level) who have a foundational grasp of grammar, including basic parts of speech such as nouns and verbs. Throughout each session, we'll navigate instructional slides to introduce new diagramming techniques. Students will actively engage through practical exercises, concept examples, and interactive discussions where questions are wholeheartedly welcomed.

Experience a balanced blend of instructive guidance and collaborative exploration as we navigate the course content. The rhythm of the class oscillates between focused instruction and dynamic dialogue.

Unlock the art of sentence diagramming and elevate your grammar prowess—join me on this enlightening journey to strengthen your writing skills!
