Identifying Examples

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an activity designed to engage students with the concept of cohesive writing. It starts by explaining that cohesion in writing refers to the way sentences and paragraphs are connected at the sentence level. The worksheet then lists different types of cohesive devices such as pronouns, synonyms, and transition words. The task for the students is to read a given text and identify examples of these cohesive devices within that text.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to recognize and apply cohesive devices in writing. By identifying pronouns that refer back to previously mentioned nouns, substituting synonyms for repeated nouns, and using appropriate transition words, students learn to create fluidity in their writing. This activity is intended to enhance their analytical skills in reading and their practical skills in writing. Ultimately, the students are being guided to appreciate how cohesiveness contributes to the clarity and readability of written work.
