What's wrong with this picture?
Sentence Diagramming is a complex concept that deserves much practise. Today I will be explaining the basic rules of sentence diagramming. The audience will be 9th graders. The class will only go over the basic principles of sentence diagramming so that they will have time to learn the process. The 9th graders will begin the class by watching a short instructional video on sentence diagramming. As a class we will go further into sentence diagramming by adding more parts of the sentence. The power point will explain the rules of sentence diagramming and will show examples of completed diagrammed sentences. The class will then take a short quiz over the video. The class will be assigned to find 5 sentences online or in a book. The students will diagram these sentences and will bring them to class the following day.
