Sentences are very complex. That is why you need to become a sentence diagramming ninja! We all know, even the simplest of sentences must have a subject and a verb, and grammatical rules dictate how the subject and verb interact.  Learning sentence diagramming allows a student to own a process that helps them see how the parts of speech fit together. This is a beneficial tool for those who are visual learners. This class is a great place to review Classical Conversations and First Language Lessons diagramming skills!

Outschoolers will benefit the most from this class if they have a basic understanding of grammar rules (simple subjects, predicates, nouns, verbs, direct and indirect objects, etc.). Students with basic sentence diagramming knowledge may start with this course as a refresher before advancing into complex diagrams. 

Learners in this class will receive three weekly mini-diagramming lessons (see schedule below), weekly diagramming challenges, weekly Google Form Quizzes, and will wrap up the course with two specially designed full diagram review sessions! Class cumulates with a Flex Class Diagram Gallary Walk Challenge Sentence- We will show off our group diagramming expertise!
