Transition Words Poster With Visuals

This is a PDF you can print on the Plotter (if you are lucky enough to have one at your school) as a poster, print it from a color printer, OR my favorite...after our Writing Workshop mini-lesson, I always have "mini posters" the students can glue into their notebooks. If you take this document and print 4 pages (multiple sheets per page) and then cut them in fourths, you have your mini-posters :) Use if you'd like! ~Erin
