Using Transitions

A conjunction is a type of transition word that joins two small sentences to make longer more complex sentences. AND, BUT, and OR are the most popular, and are used more than any other.

Directions: 

• On the next page of your notebook set up the date, title and page number.
• Glue in the list of transition words and phrases
