Mind in motion What did you notice about the transition markers used? How do they help connect ideas?
What did you notice about the transition markers used? The transition markers used include “therefore”, “as a result” and “to solve this.” Some sentences lack transition markers, making the ideas sound disconnected.
How do they help connect ideas? Transition markers show relationships between ideas like in problem-solution texts. They make the text flow more smoothly by linking independent thoughts into a coherent structure. Without them, sentences may feel choppy or disconnected, making it harder to follow the logic.
Learning objectives : Identify transition markers commonly used in problem- solution expository texts. Explain how transition markers help make ideas clear and connected in a problem-solution text. Use appropriate transition markers in writing simple problem-solution sentences.
