    • نبذة مختصرة :
      The article discusses a course at Trinity College that focuses on the diagramming of sentences. The course, taught by professor Lucy Ferriss, uses competitive games to increase students' enthusiasm to learn diagramming. Ferriss developed the course after students expressed interest in diagramming, a technique no longer in common use in English instruction. Students discuss how the course has changed their perception of English lessons. In the course's final exam, the students are divided into two teams which must diagram complex sentences, with points lost for errors.
