This conversation with Patterns of Power grammar extraordinaires Holly Durham and Travis Leech will leave you ready to dive into authentic grammar instruction! Let go of ineffective worksheets and skill-and-drill grammar instruction as Holly and Travis describe the Patterns of Power Process with a focus on grades 9-12.   They explain why traditional grammar instruction focuses too often on rules and what’s right or wrong instead of a true understanding of usage. In Kylene Beers’s words, “...master teachers, Jeff, Travis, and Holly, make things such as colons and commas, apostrophes and appositives, phrases and fragments, become more than things to be learned. Instead, they were turning conventions of language into conversations I wanted to have with kids.”Episode Mentions:Patterns of Power 9-12: Teaching Grammar Through Reading and Writing - Grades 9-12Kylene BeersPointless by Sarah Zerwin(An) Indian Father's PleaLarry FerlazzoTim Ferriss Patterns of Power (Facebook) CommunityHolly and Travis Recommend:Everyday Editing by Jeff AndersonImage Grammar by Harry Noden Teaching Grammar in Context by Constance Weaver180 Days by Penny Kittle & Kelly Gallagher Connect and Learn with Holly:at her website & emailon Twitter on Facebookon LinkedInConnect and Learn with Travis:at his website & emailon Twitter on Instagramon Facebook#solutionsfromschoolutions #schoolutionsinspires #schoolutionspodcast #patternsofpower #grammarinstruction #authenticgrammarinstruction #grammarusageoverrules #POPteacher #teachersfollowteachers #education #student #school Get solutions from Schoolutions!#solutionsfromschoolutions #schoolutionsinspires #schoolutionspodcast
