This page is still a work-in-progress, which probably tells you something about my relationship with logic. In any case, we all have to start somewhere....
In WRITING, ideas should FLOW LOGICALLY. This logical flow requires TRANSITIONS. For my teacher friends who are frustrated with textbooks that define "transitions" merely as "time and order words," resulting in robotic student writing that relies heavily on "first, second, and third," here are links to some Web pages that provide a more nuanced explanation of what transitions are and how they work:

To conclude ( ), this page will continue to evolve. Please feel free to Email requests for information or suggestions for what belongs on this page. Thanks, ST |
