DOL Sentences
Remember:
1. Transitions
• Introduce key/star ideas.
• Connect reasons, details, and facts
* Help the writer and the reader
2. Transitional Expressions on this list are just a few of the many words and phrases we can use to help readers follow our thoughts as we write.
* Look for other transitions as you read.
3. A transition does not need to be the first word in the sentence.
Example: Water safety was the first skill I learned in camp.
4. Sometimes a paragraph sounds better if you drop first or first of all. Think first to help you organize, but drop it from the final copy.
5. Writers also make transitions by emphasizing key ideas, using repetition, or selecting synonyms.
