Students complete nine sentences about transitions and organization — identifying 'also' as a signal word, staying on topic, and the term for provable statements. The matching activity pairs 'also,' 'for example,' 'another,' and 'in conclusion' with their specific signaling functions: adding a related fact, introducing a case, adding one more point, and signaling the end.
Matching transition words to their functions prepares students to use them purposefully rather than randomly.

Informational Writing
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The word "also" signals that an additional fact is coming.
2. Good informational writing stays on topic without drifting to unrelated ideas.
3. A fact is a statement that can be proven true.
4. Writers organize paragraphs so readers can understand the information easily.
5. "Another reason" is a transition phrase that adds a new detail.
6. A concluding statement should not introduce a brand-new topic.
7. An example helps readers see what the author means.
8. Before writing, an author should gather facts about the topic.
9. A paragraph with only one sentence usually lacks enough supporting details.
