III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction: Often student writers do not fully consider what he/she owes his/her reader. Among other things, they struggle with establishing
clear and meaningful relationships among the ideas they are presenting and with helping the reader easily grasp such relationships. This
lesson focuses on the use of logical connectors to show the reader that the writer is shifting to a different time or place or setting up,
developing, challenging, or summarizing a set of ideas.

Preliminary Activity
Task 1: Group it!
Directions: Organize the class into small groups and distribute to each group the Transition Words/Phrases Table. Place the connection
word/phrase to the function it performs.
First Finally Furthermore In conclusion
Third Meanwhile Second Consequently
To sum up By and large Previously Then
Later on Since In brief After
Next Immediately Suddenly Simultaneously
Soon After all Briefly All things considered

Time Sequence Summation

Activity
Task 2: Tied Ideas!
Directions: Read the 1st paragraph. As you read, think about the way the sentences flow together. Do the ideas seem connected? Does one
idea build on another?
Directions: Now read the same paragraph again. Great writers use logical connectors to connect sentences and ideas. This helps your writing
flow together. As you read, circle any logical connectors that you find.

Analysis
Task 3: My Transitions!
Directions: From the encircled logical connectors, what function each performs – time, sequence, or summation? Now, select a piece of
previously completed writing. Search for transition words and encircle each one you find. You may be surprised to see that you already use
some transition words in your own writings.

Abstraction
Task 4: My Notes!
Directions: Using the notes below, create your own interactive notebook with the sample template of a flap book below. Then, state the
importance of logical connectors:
