Elementary School Writing Assessment

*These bell ringers are part of a larger bundle of resources.*

https://www.TeachShare.com/Product/Sentence-Diagramming-Bell-Ringers-Weeks-1-16-BUNDLE-9889785

These sentence diagramming bell ringers will last a full month. This resource contains four Google Slide presentations- one for each week. There is also an assessment for the end of those four weeks to test student knowledge. The daily activities should last 5-10 minutes.

This resource covers:

- Subject

- Predicate / Verb

- Helping Verbs

- Articles

- Adjectives

- Adverbs

Answers are included for all diagrams.

My bell ringers are color-coded. Red slides should be covered on Monday, yellow on Tuesday, green on Wednesday (missing from preview), blue on Thursday, and purple on Friday.

Sentence diagramming is so helpful when teaching students parts of speech and sentence structure. The repetitiveness of diagramming for a bell ringer is extremely beneficial for students. I tried grammar workbooks for years, but my students hardly retained anything. Daily sentence diagramming made them remember their parts of speech, and was an amazing foundation for my students to have when we started forming different types of sentences. They picked up on fixing run-ons quickly as well because of their diagramming foundation.
