Smartboard Sentence Diagramming Exercises

This is an interactive whiteboard activity for practicing sentence diagramming. Sentences are written so that individual words can be moved to the appropriate placement on a sentence diagram frame. There are also some slides with just sentences, so that students can first practice diagramming on their own papers. On these activities, the next slide contains the same sentences with the diagram frame; these activities can be used to check how well students do with diagramming independently. Diagramming exercises range from basic (subject/verb with adjectives or adverbs) to more complicated sentences containing compound subjects/verbs and direct/indirect objects.
