"Great resource on identifying transitional words and phrases. Lessons are really easy to follow and activities were good. I wish there was a little bit more differentiation when it comes to the activities. There were no activities that expect students to apply that in their writing. "

Description
All teachers are in the process of shifting instruction to meet the Common Core State Standards. One of the greatest areas in need of aligning is writing - in particular writing for grades 3-6.
Fortunately for teachers, the CCSS gives us a clear and precise path of what our learners need before they move on from our grade level. When I examined our writing map during our fourth grade team development, one strand we all realized needed defining and more implicit instruction is the use of transitional words and phrases. I developed this lesson kit to meet the needs of my fourth graders this year. This five lesson writing was created using UBD (understanding by design) after teaching it to my students and tweaking it better meet the needs of all intermediate writers.
The Transition Words - Intermediate Writing Lessons unit contains five lessons that will take you from the introduction of transition words and phrases through to independent work.
In this kit you will be equipped with:
PDF document containing the five lesson unit
* Understand By Design enduring understandings, essential questions, student outcomes, and evidence of learning
* Five complete lesson plans that used gradual release (taking the students from full dependence through independence)
* Powerpoint presentation lessons that can be used to introduce each lesson (Powerpoint is not needed to run these, there are instructions included on how to use them by downloading a free Microsoft Powerpoint player)
* A full material list for each lesson
* Learning Target (learning objective) posters for each lesson
* Sample anchor charts to help you create them for your classroom
* Rubric for tracking progress during each phase of the unit
* Custom written short stories to use with "thinking together" and "independent work" phases of the lessons
* Assessment instructions and materials
* Common Core State Standards (writing) for fourth, fifth and sixth grade that this writing unit meets.
For a full preview of Lesson One and the UBD criteria, download the free preview file. It includes Powerpoint lesson one.
The page count does not count the duplicated Powerpoint lesson PDF printouts for each lesson.

Great for identifying transitional words and phrases
Met expectations
Great value
Great resource on identifying transitional words and phrases. Lessons are really easy to follow and activities were good. I wish there was a little bit more differentiation when it comes to the activities. There were no activities that expect students to apply that in their writing.
This resource was exactly what I was looking for! Very useful and worth the money!
This alligned perfectly with my standards and helped my kids really understand the skill.
This was a great resource for my classroom. Thank you for creating an engaging and practical resource we were able to enjoy while simultaneously gaining knowledge.
In a year when I have more preps than ever before, resources like this one are life savers.
Great step-by-step scaffolded lessons. I appreciate that there are PowerPoint lessons that I can edit.
This is a great way for students to notice repetitive language "and then" and try to use a variety of different transition words and phrases as alternates.
Students always tend to use the same transition words over and over. Or they stick with the ones they learned in kinder and first grade (first, second, third, etc.). This is such a good way to get them to learn and practice using new transitions in their writing!
