Draw me a sentence
I am reading student papers of our seniors in their capstone class, and many of them could use a lesson like that. It seems trite to say that because we all do, but I believe you can't make an essay until you can write a paragraph, and you can't write a paragraph until you know how to write a sentence, and you can't write a sentence until you know the elements of grammar. And if you can diagram the previous sentence, you can do it all.
