Revise Writing to Use Effective Transitions Between Paragraphs

CCSS ELA: W.8.5

W.8.5 With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of Language standards 1-3 up to and including grade 8 here.)

TEKS ELA: 8(10)(C)

8(10)(C) Revise drafts for clarity, development, organization, style, word choice, and sentence variety.

This writing strategies lesson focuses on revising writing to use effective transitions between paragraphs. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the paragraph and identify any details that have a common idea and would suggest the main idea. Then, they determine the main idea of each paragraph. Finally, they determine the relationship between the paragraphs and select an effective transition sentence from the choices given. In addition to the lesson, there are four more pages for Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.
