Writing- Topic, Conclusion, and Transitions

Question 1

What does a good transition sentance do?

Answer 1

It references key terms or ideas preceding it and key terms or ideas following it. Always read above and below where the transition will be.

Question 2

What is important when working with words such as this, that, and these and transitons

Answer 2

These reference words must point to other nouns that exist in the surrounding context, which means the transition sentence itself may need to include them.

Question 3

What is the difference between topic and conclusion sentences versus transition sentences

Answer 3

Topic and conclusion sentences will be more broad because a topic sentence is trying to capture the entire scope of the paragraph it leads into and the conclusion sentence encompasses the paragraph that led to it.
