My dd was working on Rod and Staff 8th grade english and hated it. They had her doing alot and I mean alot of braking the sentences apart and putting into a fork. Noun here, then divide with line and verb , then direct object. She got to tired of it and man school just started. What can I do for English so we don't have fights everyday. Also, she loves to write stories and things like that. Any ideas will help alot. Thanks ladies.
