Phrase and Clause Patterns

Here are some student examples from a unit we do each spring on Phrase and Clause Patterns. It's a "capstone" type project, rounding out a year of exploring these phrase and clause patterns. In getting these ready to be presented here, I sometimes made an edit or addition, and I supplied many of the definitions. Other than that, the work was done by the students -- they assembled the themes, photographs and sentences. I'm pleased that these slides are both engaging and instructive. Good writing is rich in elaboration and variety in phrasing.
