Transitions are words or phrases that carry the reader from one idea to the next. They help a reader see the connection or relationships between ideas. Transitional words and phrases also prevent sudden, jarring mental leaps between sentences and  \nFlorida IPDAE’s Lesson Plans for GED® Preparation Reasoning through Language Arts Page 1 of 9  \nparagraphs. This lesson will help students become familiar with the different transitional words and phrases, and the function and proper usage of them to improve their writing samples on the GED ® test. The GED Testing Service ® has identified this assessment target as a high impact indicator that describes some of the critical thinking skills students need to be successful in college, career training, and the workforce.  \nProcess  \nIntroduce the lesson by asking the following questions and discussing their answers as a class:  \n􀁸 What are transitional words and phrases?  \n􀁸 Why should you use them in your constructed response?  \nAfter class discussion, show the Transition Words PowerPoint Presentation developed by Ruth Luman, Modesto Junior College.  \n[https://www.slideshare.net/JackylineLagaa/using-transitions](https://www.slideshare.net/JackylineLagaa/using-transitions)  \nNow that the class has seen some examples of good writing using transition words and the difference they can make in a constructed response, pass out Handout A: Transition Words List. For each grouping of words, give at least one example using a word from that list.  \nEXAMPLE: Words that show location: When you are learning the new dance moves, be sure to move to the left initially, putting your hand on the back of your partner’s shirt.  \nAfter prep activities with vocabulary, pass out Handout B: Identify the Transition Words.  \n[http://www.k12reader.com/subject/composition/transition-words/](http://www.k12reader.com/subject/composition/transition-words/)  \nComplete Example 1 and Example 2 together and then have students complete the rest of the worksheet in pairs or on their own.  \nOnce students have an understanding of and can identify transitional words and phrases, have students practice using them in sentences by completing Handout C: Transition Words- Independent Practice.
