Review the document Types of Transitional Expressions. Then, open the Sample Draft Essay. After reading
through once, read each document again, this time allowing yourself to ask questions. Answer the following:
How did the transitional expressions the writer used at the beginning of each paragraph help make her essay

the selection straight through with a pen in hand, and work with the material), which did you find the most
helpful? Which of the strategies do you think you will continue to use as you approach reading a variety of
textbooks in college? Why?
