Transitions And Connectors

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on the use of transition words and connectors as cohesive devices in writing. It explains how cohesive writing binds the ideas of sentences and paragraphs to support the central message of a text. The worksheet introduces the concept that cohesiveness is a key part of writing that comes from the Latin word meaning “to cleave together.” Students are given sentence pairs and instructed to use transition words or connectors to link these sentences more smoothly.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to enhance the flow of their writing by using transitions and connectors effectively. It provides direct practice in integrating these cohesive devices into their writing, which helps to create a natural progression of ideas. Students are encouraged to think about how sentences can be joined to maintain continuity and clarity. Through this exercise, they develop a practical understanding of how to construct more polished and interconnected written work.
