Writing- Receiver of the Action

In Writing, we learned about predicate expanders that carry an action to a receiver.  There is a special way to diagram these.  When there is a receiver of an action, there is something that is answering the questions "whom" or "what" receives the action.  You can ask your child how to diagram the following sentences that include this special part of a sentence.
  • The principal praised Mrs. Field's class of sixth grade students.
  • Jack ate chocolate donuts.
  • The scouts sell three kinds of delicious cookies.
  • The children feed the ducks
  • The students visited the airport.
