I just used Reed-Kellogg with students, who had never seen it, to try to show what a direct object was (and the accusative case). The sentence was "Cornelia amat Marcum" vs "Corneliam amat Marcus". I found it useful. I intend to explore its use more.
"Cornelia est puella Romana quae in Italia habitat."
Incidentally, here in the USA because of a mania for standardized testing of writing and reading ability the teaching of traditional grammar has practically disappeared. Only when students study a foreign language do they now run into a term like "prepositional phrase". It's insane! There is, however, a sizeable population of "homeschoolers" and they tend to be more traditional in their approaches.
