Assignment 1 (which I hope you completed prior to starting Assignment 2!) looked at Supporting Details and classified them into Major Support Details that developed main ideas and Minor Support Details that developed and extended the Major Support Details.

This assignment helps with reading comprehension by classifying the Supporting Details into Patterns of Organization. Secondly, reading comprehension is improved when students are aware of the transition words and transition phrases textbook authors insert in texts to guide readers through the presentation of information. Let's get started on this assignment!

Read and review the power point presentation "Supporting Details with Transitions."
Do the practice quiz "Patterns of Organization"
Do the practice quiz "Patterns of Organization2"
Identify the transitions in the document "Identifying Transitions in Text"
Compare your marking of that document with "Identifying Transitions Answers"
