About This Lesson
A PowerPoint presentation; covers the main types of connectives / transitions; and then works through a very abbreviated version of Chaucer’s “Steward’s Tale” to exemplify a variety of connectives / transitions as paragraph openers. Gives opportunities for students to identify connective / transition type; and discuss how these can be used to aid cohesion within a text.
They will - correctly - point out that some of the 'wrong' answers in this game not only make sense, but enhance the meaning of the tale in an interesting way. You can still use it with more able groups, but more as a discussion opener.
