Download or read book Patterns of Power written by Jeff Anderson and published by Stenhouse Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeff Anderson and literacy coach Whitney La Rocca take you into primary and intermediate classrooms where students are curious about language, engage with the world around them, and notice and experiment with the conventions all writers use. Instead of chanting grammar rules or completing countless convention worksheets, we invite young writers to explore conventions as special effects devices that activate meaning. Our students study authentic texts and come to recognize these "patterns of power"--the essential grammar conventions that readers and writers require to make meaning. The first part of the book introduces a vibrant approach to grammar instruction and sets up what you need to immerse yourself in the Patterns of Power process, inviting students to experiment and play with language. The second part of the book offers over seventy practical, ready-to-use lessons, including: Extensive support materials Over 100 mentor sentences, curated for grades 1-5 Student work samples Tips and power notes to facilitate your own knowledge and learning Examples for application In Patterns of Power Jeff and Whitney suggest that taking just five minutes from your reading workshop and five minutes from your writing workshop to focus on how the conventions connect reading and writing will miraculously affect your students' understanding of how language works for readers and writers.

This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English language, whether written or spoken, is created upon grammar. Grammar is the set of rules that will control the pattern that is spoken so that everyone understands what is being said. Grammar is what tells us that we say "I went to school" instead of "I school to went" or "School went to I" when you are trying to get something across. Primarily in English, you can expect to see four types of sentences that we will go over now. Before we get into the sentence structures themselves, let's talk a bit about English. English syntax, the order that words are given, tells us the order to put our words. In English, syntax usually tells us that we need to speak in subject-verb-object form. This isn't as complicated as it sounds. Let's break down those three words briefly. Subject refers to the person that does the action. It is the doer-it is the noun that the sentence is based on. For example, if you see the sentence, "I went to school," the word "I" is the subject. I am the one that is doing the thing. Verb refers to the action, as we have gone over. It is the thing that is done. Object is the thing that I acted upon. It is the receiver of the verb. Not all sentences will have this. For example, "I play" doesn't have an object, but the sentence "I play ball" does. In that instance, "ball" is the object. Of course, other modifiers can go into the sentence, such as the adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions, but for the most part, all sentences will typically have the subject, verb, and object.
