1 Transition Words for AP French Presentational and Interpersonal Modes Jocelyne A.M. Waddle Master Teacher of French Middlebury Interactive Languages 2011

2  1. The most common mistake people make is that they DON'T use transitions at all. Transitions help your information flow from one idea to the next.  2. The second most common mistake is using transitions that are too short. Not enough time is spent bridging to the next idea. This is extremely important when changing to a new section of ideas within your presentation.  3. The third most common mistake is that people use the same transition throughout the presentation. This becomes very boring after a short while. Try to be creative with your transitions. (Lenny Laskowski ) Three Common Mistakes When Using Transitions
