Coherence In coherent writing, sentences fit

Factors of Coherent Writing
Appropriate paragraph breaksAppropriate transitionsSentence varietyConcise and precise languageAppropriate verb form
Paragraphs Tell the reader when a new point or new
information is presented. Each paragraph should tell the reader something new and important.

Activity I ( Paragraph Essay) Students will work on pages 5 &6 Students can work independently or

Transitions Readers want to know when changes are coming
or when important points are going to be made.
Words or phrases that serve as bridges from one idea to the next
Without transitions sentences and paragraphs seem choppy

Sentence Variety Readers become board with words and sentences
that never vary Avoid short, choppy sentences in which the same
pattern is repeated. There are five ways to avoid choppy sentences:
1. Use commas2. Use conjunctions3. Use relative clauses4. Use participles5. Use subordinate clauses
(Activity III)Examples & Practice Complete pages 11-15 as a class Review the examples and complete and
answer all the questions
Complete page 16 (individually)
Concise Writing Avoid redundant words (unnecessary and
repetitive).
Examples: Kind of Sort of Type of Really Basically Actually
Activity IV(Redundant Expressions)

Precise Language Use specific words Avoid using terms such as “nice.” “good,” or
“thing. They make the writing dry and uninteresting.
Example: The man is good. ** How is the man good? Is he
compassionate? Is he generous? Is he equitable?
