In this episode, Travis and Whitney plan a middle school Patterns of Power lesson using advanced compound sentences, building more complexity off of our previous lesson planning session with a PoP lesson for elementary. The planning kicks off with some options for a focus phrase with the text "Farms of the Future," an informational text found in CommonLit being elevated as a focus. Travis and Whitney plan through the invitations to notice and compare & contrast in this episode, offering teacher hacks and options for classroom flexibility along the way.
