Teaching High School Grammar with Mentor Texts: Ready to Use Lesson Plans for Grades 9-12 contains detailed grammar lesson plans for English teachers who are teaching grades nine through twelve.
The lesson plans in this book incorporate the research-based best practices of grammar instruction. They present grammatical concepts in the context of effective writing through the use of mentor texts. These mentor text examples, which students read from a writer’s perspective, deepen students’ metacognition of the importance of these concepts and help them see the elements of grammar as tools for strong writing that authors use strategically to make their work as effective as possible. The lesson plans in this book feature published examples of grammatical concepts from works of literature aligned with grades nine through twelve. These texts include works written recently as well as those that have been taught in high school English classrooms for longer periods of time. In addition to these published works, the lessons include activities that help students connect their reading and writing experiences and reflective opportunities designed to facilitate students’ metacognition of the importance of grammatical concepts.
The book provides high school English teachers with concrete lesson plans that they can easily use to put mentor text-based grammar instructions into action in their classrooms.
Sean Ruday is a professor and program coordinator of English education at Longwood University.
