Grounded in conversation and discovery, the Patterns of Power grammar process invites students to look closely at well-crafted sentences from books they may know—or might want to explore later. Over the course of multiple days, the Patterns of Power grammar program empowers students to:
Describe what they notice.
Compare and contrast with another sentence.
Try the observed strategy in pairs or independently.
Share their work with the class.
Apply the pattern in new sentences.
Explore how editing changes meaning or effect.
