In Mr. Luvera's Language Arts class, we explore the power of transitional words to connect ideas in persuasive writing. Key transitional words include "although," "but," "however," and "on the other hand." Students will create a list of these words to enhance their writing skills and aid in revising and editing their persuasive pieces. Through engaging activities and examples, students will understand how to effectively use these words to strengthen their arguments and improve clarity in their writing.
