Transition Smooth-Out

Students read a choppy paragraph about a piano recital and rewrite it using stronger transition words and phrases to improve flow. They maintain the original meaning while creating smoother sequencing. This activity teaches how transitions affect pacing and clarity in narrative writing. Learners also list three transitions they used, reinforcing awareness of their choices. The worksheet develops editing skills that support stronger narrative cohesion and polished writing.
