thank you frank for your great postings you seem like a very nice guy!
Once again, you are beyond me.
Maybe someone on THIS forum knows what you mean and can help.

Well, I can tell you Mr. A, the few times I have done it, I have loved it, we need to do it more in class, I came home today and noticed I had started doing it on the back of my math... Oops!:lol: Now I find myself wondering "What will tomorrow bring?"
You have done a great job with this class I checked out that website to that is magnificent work By your students. I hope many people get the word about that siteWell, thank you.
I don't know if I deserve that, but it is appreciated. I am on quite a different tack with my students right now. I don't know where it will go. In the meantime, you might be interested to watch their website develop.
You will find it at <humanitynotes.webs.com>. It is constantly surprising me. Today, before I taught one of my classes, I looked and saw that the notes for my class were already online because I had taught it that morning.
My students are not all angels, and I have to deal with the unruly in the midst of the excitement. But, I suppose, that is the way it always is -- at least in a public school.
Today I had to shut down competitive sentence diagramming [hf. CSD] completely in one class because it was too excited.
The notes are fine Rummel. Congratulations!
I just would like to state I don't really grasp why math is not considered
'humanities' despite the fact that they are defined as the study of
human expression (Introduction: Introduction - Notes for Humanities/Language).
I know this is a little off topic but I couldn't move on without saying it.
Again, Thanks!
I too think it is pretty amazing. The kids are pretty excited about it. If you have any suggestions, pass them on.
The kids are thinking about putting a "gloss" around the basic text.
Maybe you would want to join the site. That would get them excited!

Um, about the gloss, um, I don't know if we can add it in because of how the site is and everything. Like I said earlier, you might be able to add it using CSS coding but I don't know. So for now, it probably won't happen.

I have a suggestion.
A challenge to Mr Antonson's students so to speak.
Why don't you try to teach us sentence diagramming from scratch?
(What is it all about?)
Mr Antonson has already pointed out some fine references on the subject - I have
taken notes - but I do not have much free time at the moment.
Maybe I can read something simple here or on the HumanityNotes site.
Let us say a simple sentence like 'Hello World!': how do we diagram it?
