Thanks to Connie Weaver, generations of teachers have come to understand that the most efficient way to teach grammar thats relevant for writing is to embed it within writing instruction. Now her Grammar Plan Book is designed with precisely one thing in mind: to be the best resource youve ever used for teaching grammar to strengthen writing. This new book helps you apply a limited amount of grammar instruction directly to writing and enables you to map out instruction in the way that best serves the needs of your students.
A complete planning tool, The Grammar Plan Book has two complementary parts. Part One describes an overarching framework for high-quality grammar instruction in conjunction with the process of writing. It offers:
- engaging examples of effective teaching
- demonstrations of how that teaching has improved students use of grammatical options in writing
- suggestions for deciding which editing conventions to teach
- an informal analysis of the grammatical content of typical ACT practice exams.
The Plan Book also contains ideas for encouraging students to make independent use of what theyve learned in their own writing and about how to apply grammatical insights to enhance and improve their writing, from adding details to editing appropriately.
Then in Part Two, Weaver presents an exceptional tool for preparing to teach grammar related to improving writing: a minimal grammar handbook for teachers that doubles as a lesson planner. Everything you need to know to teach major grammatical options, stylistic features, and conventions is included:- basic grammatical functions within the sentence
- grammatical options for adding details and sentence fluency
- connectors (transitions) for organizational flow
- parallelism and other rhetorical devices for emphasis and effect, style, and voice
- stylistic options (dialect versus standard) for different audiences and purposes
- conventions most important for edited American English
- rules that dont necessarily rule effective published writing.
