2 Learning Objective : Today I will identify and use transitions and conjunctions to connect ideas.. Transition=change, move into or over Conjunction= to merge, connect with

3 What are we going to identify and use today? Transitions and conjunctions to connect ideas.

4 I worked on this PointPoint. I at my lunch. How do we connect both sentences? We connect sentences by using conjunctions! I worked on this PowerPoint, while I at my lunch.

5 It is important to know how to correctly use transitions and conjunctions to connect ideas because it will help you write better sentences! It is also important because it can help you identify transitions and conjunctions to connect ideas because It will help you identify if any sentences are written incorrectly. What are other reasons it is important to correctly use independent and dependent clauses? It will be tested!

18 Transitions Transitions are words that help make your writing more coherent. They create connections between: - one clause and another clause - one sentence and another sentence - one group of sentences and the next group of sentences

19 Joining Two Independent Clauses One way of joining two independent clauses is with a semicolon, a transition, and a comma. Marcos is a great swimmer he’s very good at scuba diving. ; furthermore, Marcos is a great swimmer ;furthermore, he’s very good at scuba diving.

20 Connecting Two Sentences You can use a transition and comma to tell the reader the logical relationship between two sentences. Marcos is very athletic. he plays three sports at school. In fact, Marcos is very athletic. In fact, he plays three sports at school.

21 Placement of Transition Rather than placing the transition at the beginning of the second sentence, you may place it in the middle of the second sentence after the subject with two commas. Marcos is very athletic. He, in fact, plays three sports at school. subject transition

22 Transitions in Longer Writing When writing a paragraph or a larger piece of writing,you can use a transition to show the reader the logical relationship between one group of sentences and another group of sentences. This is useful when you want to let the reader know that you are changing from one idea to another idea.

23 Example- Longer Piece of Writing Essay Introduction Body Paragraph 1 Body Paragraph 2: In addition, Body Paragraph 3: Furthermore, Conclusion: Transition connects ideas in paragraph 3 to ideas in paragraph 2. Transition connects ideas in paragraph 2 to ideas in paragraph 1.

24 Types of Transitions RelationshipTransition AdditionMoreover Furthermore In addition besides Marcos loves to ski ;moreover, ;furthermore, ;in addition, ;besides, he likes to fish.
