Activity 27

• Help your students choose the
best connectives to link their
isolated ideas.
• Be sure they use a variety of
connectives, not just those that
are commonly used (and, but,
because). In order to do so,
remind your students to take
advantage of the connectives
that appeared in other texts they
have read.
• Remind your students that
connectives can be composed
of more than one word, there
are longer expressions, such
as on the one hand…, on the
other… which are composed
of many words. Its function
(linking ideas) is what defines a
connective, not how many words
it is composed of.
• Connectives are used to
introduce a range of structures
with different meanings, for
example, when using who, why,
how, which, whose (relative and
interrogative pronouns), you
add features or details; that after
nouns introduces ideas that
complete what the
noun expresses.
Activity 28
• When linking sentences, remind your students they may need to use connectives again.
• Help your students recognize that a well-written paragraph has a main idea, based on a single topic or
issue, and supporting ideas.
