While wisdom may not be communicated, knowledge of sentence structures certainly can. Teach young grammarians the power of syntax with a lesson that uses Herman Hesse's Siddhartha as a mentor text. Learners first rewrite captions for an illustration to integrate different sentence types. They then modify sentences from the novel and consider how the changes influence the power of Hesse's prose.
