Tab Title: Transitions
Tab Content:
Transitions are cues, either explicitly or implicitly stated, that alert the reader of a change. There may be a change in subject, tone, or perspective.
Tab Title: Implied Transition
Tab Content:
An implied transition is one that is not stated outright, such as "next" or "finally." The new direction of the essay is understood by the shift in content.
Tab Title: Continuity
Tab Content:
Transitions provide continuity and consistency to an essay. They offer connections that make the essay cohesive.
Tab Title: Transition Paragraphs
Tab Content:
Often a transitional word or transitional sentence is not long enough to signal the change that is about to occur in the writing. Unlike transitional words or sentences, transitional paragraphs can offer a summation of where the essay is coming from and where it is headed.
