Seeing Time Or Sequence

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is dedicated to the use of transitional words that denote time or sequence in writing. It provides a list of transitional phrases such as “later,” “before,” “henceforth,” and “occasionally,” which are used to order events and indicate the flow of time within a narrative. The students are instructed to read an assigned text and then identify transitions of time or sequence, writing them down alongside the corresponding sentence from the text, thereby practicing the identification and application of these temporal transitions in context.

The worksheet’s goal is to teach students how to effectively use transitional words to structure a narrative in a coherent and understandable sequence. By recognizing and writing down the transitions, students are learning to discern how these words and phrases function to organize a narrative’s timeline, enhance clarity, and provide cues to the reader about the progression of events. This exercise helps students improve their writing by incorporating appropriate temporal transitions, which is a crucial skill in both creative and expository writing. It also helps them to understand the importance of pacing and sequencing in the narrative flow.
