Syllabus tag: Kenya CBC | Grade 8 English | Theme 4.0 Consumer Roles and Responsibilities | Sub-Strand 4.5.1 Paragraphing: Connectors of Sequence (2 Lessons)

Lesson objectives

By the end of this topic, you will be able to:

  • Identify connectors of sequence from a given text
  • Sequence ideas in a given paragraph
  • Appreciate the use of idea connectors for clarity in communication

Summary

A connector of sequence can be a single conjunction, but it can also be a longer transitional phrase — "as a result," "after that," "in the same way" — doing the same essential job of showing a reader how one idea relates to the next. This topic covers spotting these connectors in a text and using them to build a paragraph a reader can follow without effort.
