Sentences: The Busy Bees of Text by Hennessey (2013)

Picture
"Diagramming sentences along with other explicit sentence-based activities—such as sentence combining and anagrams—can be used to foster sentence composition and comprehension, but only if we, as teachers, are clear on the purpose: to facilitate the student’s ability to extract and construct meaning. The bottom line is that sentence instruction should always focus on how syntax is used as a vehicle for conveying meaning." (Hennessy, 2013)
