Making it Cohesive Worksheet
A handy worksheet to help your students consolidate their understanding of how texts can be made cohesive by using the starting point of a sentence or paragraph to give prominence to the message and to guide the reader through the text. Students practice choosing one or more cohesive adverbials in each box and use them to create a short text that demonstrates cohesion.
