Publisher's Synopsis
This series is a must have for all teachers from elementary to high school. Each book contains ready-to-use lesson plan sets that include excerpts from authentic and diverse mentor texts curated for grade levels and real-life classroom examples, tips, and Power Notes gleaned from the authors' experiences that can be applied to any level of writer.Patterns of Power Grades 1-5 (9781625311856) Emergent writers are invited to notice the conventions of the English language and build off them in this inquiry-based approach to instructional grammar.Patterns of Power Grades 6-8 (9781625315151) Patterns of Power's responsive, invitational approach puts students in an involved role and has them explore and discuss the purpose and meaning of what they read.Patterns of Power Grades 9-12 (9781625315595) Instead of hammering high school students with the mistakes they should avoid, Jeff Anderson, Travis Leech, and Holly Durham suggest exploring grammar through the celebration of an author's purpose and craft. The Patterns of Power approach helps readers of all ages to discover patterns and learn the practice of applying the conventions of the English language. A comprehensive resource and a great tool for teachers and schools across all age groups.
