ON THE OTHER HAND, some students have mastered the basics…HOWEVER, they want to upgrade their writing skill…ACCORDINGLY, let’s practice using conjunctive adverbs!
Using conjunctive adverbs correctly is the mark of an advanced secondary writer who wants to make a great impression. These conjunctive adverbs include words such as however Indeed, therefore, accordingly, on the other hand, nevertheless, and more.
Sometimes they start a sentence, and sometimes they are used after a semicolon (yes, these are OK to use after semicolon!)
At Beyond Words Learning, we offer a lesson called Conjunctive Adverbs as Transitions. This lesson tells what all these words mean. It also tells how to use them correctly and gives many examples of sentences using them. It follows with a brief assessment asking students to combine sentences using an appropriate conjunctive adverb as a transition.
This is an excellent lesson for 8th graders, advanced 7th graders, and high school students.
