Most students love the chance to reach the board, and may his show. After teaching students with some basic set of plans, have divided into teams. Write aSentence on the blackboard. Students then work as a team for the chart speed. The teams earn points on the accuracy of their representation and the amount of time it took them to complete the chart.

I interviewed a teacher who had taught middle school English this to say about the competitive rate of charts:
"I have found that students compete in sentence diagrams LOVE -. Even if they are not very good at it"

He also began a series of diagrams Clubwhy children love him so much.

Here's an example:

Clue # 1: This is a famous sentenceSlogan for Nike.
Clue # 2: This is a mandatory sentence. This means that there must be a command.
Clue # 3: He's only three words.
(Answer: "Just do it.")
