What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use transitions to create cohesion and clarify relationships among ideas. Signals match definition, example, cause, contrast, classification, or sequence.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student connects sentences and sections with varied, accurate transitions. Readers can follow how concepts relate.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may use first and next for nonsequential relationships. They may insert transitions without underlying logic.
How to Assess It
- Give an explanation with transitions removed. Ask students to add signals and label each relationship.
