Parallel Structure Fundamentals for 10th Grade ELA
A practice set on parallel structure that walks 10th graders through gerunds, infinitives, and phrase-level parallelism with worked examples and a grammar pattern table. It builds sentence-level revision skills and clear, rhythmic writing, and suits a focused grammar block or a small-group practice session.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Introduce the key definition first, then have students work through the example table together so they can see how each pattern keeps items grammatically matched.
- Discussion question: Why does a list like "hiking, swimming, and to bike" feel awkward to a reader, even when each item is a valid verb form?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them underline the first item in each list and label its form (-ing, to + verb) before identifying the rest of the pattern.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to revise a paragraph from their own writing to correct mismatched structures and explain how the change affects rhythm and emphasis.
- Estimated time: About 30 to 45 minutes for the definition, examples, and practice items.
