Travis and Whitney dive into planning effective Patterns of Power (PoP) lessons for elementary grades. They focus on the essential concept of compound sentences using coordinating conjunctions, particularly the FANBOYS (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So). Listeners learn how to choose appropriate mentor texts and sentences to illustrate these grammar concepts effectively. This episode serves as a mini professional development session, guiding teachers through the initial stages of planning their PoP lessons, with practical tips and examples to make the grammar instruction relevant and engaging for students.
