sspraguely Posted November 27 Posted November 27 My 14-yo / 8th grader enjoys sentencing diagramming and grammar, but I can't find any more curricula or workbooks that challenge her. We've done all the ones on Amazon, and I'm not sure where to go from here. When I looked at sample pages from MCT, it appeared all of the levels would be reviewing what she already knows. Does anyone know of any CHALLENGING diagramming curricula or workbooks? Or should I switch to something else, like Linguistics for her? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Quote
Rosie_0801 Posted November 27 Posted November 27 I can't comment on further diagramming books, but linguistics is another thing and it wouldn't cost anything to offer the Crash Course linguistics playlist. Quote

I haven't looked at linguistics at all, so I will check out the Crash Course linguistics playlist first -- thanks! 1 Quote

Porridge Posted November 27 Posted November 27 Another vote for Eugene Moutoux's books. DD once tried to diagram the Declaration of Independence. It was fun to find the bits of paper she sketched it out on... Quote

Maybe she could even diagram sentences she's trying to memorize. I bet that would lock it in. 🙂 Quote
