This document provides guidance and examples for teachers to encourage students to use connectives in extended writing tasks. It recommends that teachers provide students with connectives before writing to force them to think differently about developing their writing. Sample connectives are given for different writing tasks, like comparisons, character descriptions, and setting descriptions. Teachers are advised to have students build vocabulary webs and use a variety of sentence structures and connectives to create descriptive passages. The goal is to help students improve at linking ideas in their extended writing.
