Underline And Indicate

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on identifying and understanding the use of transition words within sentences. Students are instructed to underline the transition word in each sentence and then classify the type of transition it represents from the provided categories, such as addition/agreement, comparison, contrast/opposition, and so on. The sentences are structured to include a variety of transitional phrases that demonstrate different relational concepts between clauses. Examples of these transitions include phrases like “in view of,” “as illustrated by,” “beyond,” and “hence.”

The worksheet is designed to teach students the different roles that transition words can play in the structure of writing. By recognizing these words and phrases, students learn how to link ideas and convey relationships such as similarity, contrast, cause and effect, or sequence. The activity promotes the development of coherent and sophisticated writing by highlighting how transition words guide the reader through the progression of thoughts. Ultimately, the students will be able to enhance their own writing by effectively incorporating these transitional elements.
