Each pattern is illustrated by passages that model the strategy, and each is accompanied by an assignment that invites application and practice. Models that encompass a wide range of subjects--literature, history, science, mathematics--are provided for students in the early grades, in middle school, and in high school or college. Teachers will find the first part of the book helpful in planning writing instruction, not just for language arts but for any subject that requires English exposition. Students, from emerging to accomplished writers, will benefit from reading the passages and completing the assignments. The strategies include six basic approaches--chronological, spatial, topical, comparison, contrast, comparison contrast--and four less well-known patterns--traditional narrative, point\u003cbr\u003ecounterpoint, question-answer, and extended analogy. The book concludes with a lesson in modeling rhythm and rhyme in poetry.
