What's included

12 live meetings
11 in-class hours
Homework
1 hour per week. Every class, students will receive an individual homework assignment designed to reinforce the skills we cover in our lessons. Homework serves as a valuable tool to practice and apply what we learn in class. Additionally, I may assign homework when I observe that the class, as a whole, is facing challenges in grasping a particular concept, providing extra practice and support as needed. Expect weekly homework assignments to take around half an hour to complete.

Class Experience

Welcome!

Prior to enrolling in this course, please complete my Grammar Level One course as it serves as a prerequisite. Exceptions may be made for students with existing proficiency in basic diagramming skills. 

My Grammar Level One Class is a prerequisite, so please take that class first.  I will make exceptions for students who have already learned basic diagramming skills.  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!
