I am having trouble with containers. I want students to drag sentence fragments into one of two boxes, subjects or predicates. I'd like the chart to be self-correcting. I've read earlier posts, and watched the ActiveTip and still can't get it to work. :confused:

I've given each fragment a key word "subject" or "predicate" and set the containers to contain the keyword.

I've uploaded the page. Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Welcome to the forum. I commend you for going to all those places to try and figure it out. There are lots of little bits to get set in order for it all to work. The forum is a great place to get those little tweaks to finish it off. With that said I found 2 little issues.

1. The containers and the words were not on the same layer. You have the boxes on the top and the phrases on the middle.
2. The subject box was set to contain "specific object" instead of keyword. I saw that you put a keyword for it to use but forgot to change the drop down. As I said there are lots of little things.

Great first effort. Keep it up.
