English grammar is fun. No, really, it is. :-)

The Chicago Tribune’s “Rebels with a clause are back” notes that:

Now, even the sentence diagram, long the symbol of abandoned methodology, is allowed, if not endorsed, in the classrooms of high-performing school systems throughout the region.

“Diagramming Sentences” offers an excellent free PowerPoint presentation on how to diagram sentences. Download it – it’s fun.
