LESSON PLAN

Topic: TANSITIONAL WORDS AND PHRASES


Name: Luis David Preciado 9B

A. Introduction and Hook:


I will ask to the students what do they think or know about the
topic. I will ask if they know examples and we will write them in
the board.
B. Example and Activity:
I will write some sentences. They will contain transitional words
and phrases. I will ask my students if they identify any similarity
between the sentences. Then I will the words or phrases. This
activity will help me test the current knowledge and ability of my
students in this topic
o The children were very happy. On the other hand, their
parents were having a bad time.
o The soldier scanned the horizon for any sign though in the
distance she could not see the enemy.
o There were many explanations in the class, but for the most
part the students only wanted to sleep.
o The music had a very retro sound but at the same time
incorporated a complex modern rhythm.
C. Explanation:
Uses for transitional words and phrases:
o Transitions are phrases or words used to connect one idea
to the next.
o Transitions are used by the author to help the reader
progress from one idea to the next.
o Transitions also show the relationship within a paragraph (or
within a sentence) between the main idea and the support
sentences.
Types of transitional words and phrases:
o Additive Transitions: These show addition, introduction
and similarity to other ideas.

signal conflict, contradiction concession and| dismissal.
