[Raine starts in on the topic with determination, starting with trying to explain why it's important. She's figured out that much about Lloyd, at least, even if getting him to engage is still not as successful as she'd like.]
Diagramming sentences, once you learn the basics, will help you break down anything more complex. Therefore, the end goal isn't necessarily learning how to make such a diagram, but learning how and where to apply them best.
[She goes on, starting with the more basic structures. Genis isn't having much trouble at all with it, mostly because he remembers Raine's earlier talks on the subject, and he follows along perfectly with his own slate. He offers Lloyd his own suggestions, reaching over to prod at Lloyd's writing with his own chalk once or twice, but ultimately he's trying it from the wrong approach.]
[Sheena is making an effort mostly to avoid the faces Raine will make if she doesn't, and there isn't a major dialectical difference, but once it gets into extrapolation she fumbles and starts to hesitate. Genis comes over to look at her work instead when Raine turns them more or less loose to work on a set of exercises on their own.]
[In principle Raine had planned to circle the 'classroom,' such as it is, but Kratos is doing something interesting, and Raine turns her attention to him to see what he has in mind. Whatever it is, he may have better luck than she usually does. Perhaps a different approach will work better.]
[Yuan, too, for all that he's apparently invested in fingering the weave of ribbons in his braid, has an interested ear on this. He hasn't had the opportunity to really see Kratos teaching in this way before.]
