A chance to hear Jeff Anderson in person never gets old! My Humanities team recently spent the day with him in Hurst, Texas learning about his new book Patterns of Power: Inviting Young Writers Into the Conventions of Language. I can tell you ... it is exactly what teachers have been wanting and what they need for teaching grammar, sentence structure, and more! Easy to pick up and use and complete with lessons to try in your classroom tomorrow! Looking forward to having book studies with teachers next year. I wanted to include the notes I took this day which will give you a little peek into what we learned and what this book might do for teachers!
The first part of my notes are from a recent podcast where Jeff Anderson was interviewed about this new book - so those notes are also included on this document. You've got to get his book!
On Twitter, follow Jeff Anderson - @WriteGuyJeff and also follow the hashtag #PatternsofPower to get a perspective of the many teachers who are discovering and using this new resource!
