Since I am a big proponent of using transitions sensibly, I am sharing an interesting and useful teaching aid, "Linking Theory and Practice" from Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. The two-page handout takes no more than five minutes to read but days to absorb.
My intention of presenting this tool is to orient writers not only to the links between writing theory and practice but to employ linking ideas in their own writing. I have long taught that we writers need to stop thinking of transitions as simply words (and, but, therefore) or phrases (as a result, in effect, in the meantime), but also as sentences, paragraphs, and documents. The writer of this resource evidently supports my position.
