How can we create
cohesion in our
writing?
Creating Cohesion
When the ideas within paragraphs link well together we say the
paragraph has cohesion. You can think of cohesion like glue holding the
text together.
Cohesion in your writing will:
• Keep order in the paragraph.
• Keep related ideas together.
• Make it easier for the reader to understand the text.
• Make ideas flow more smoothly.
• Provide links between ideas.
Creating Cohesion
We can connect ideas in separate sentences by using connecting adverbs.
Connecting adverbs (and adverbial phrases and clauses) maintain the cohesion of a text in several
ways, including:
emphasis/addition – furthermore, moreover, also
opposition – however, nevertheless, on the other hand, instead, in contrast, looking at it another
way.
reinforcing – besides, anyway, after all
explaining – for example, in other words, that is to say
listing - first of all, finally
indicating result – therefore, consequently, as a result
indicating time – just then, meanwhile, later, after
Creating Cohesion
• Connecting adverbs/adverbials can help to create cohesion within
paragraphs.
• They join separate sentences together and ensure that ideas flow
more smoothly.
• They can be used in different places in sentences.
The brown bear looks cuddly. However, he is not a friendly animal.
The brown bear looks cuddly. He is not, however, a friendly animal.
However connects the ideas in
the two separate sentences.
Creating Cohesion
Commas are often used to mark off connecting
adverbs/adverbials. Can you spot the connecting adverbs /
adverbials in these sentences?
First of all, I want to welcome you to the meeting.
I didn’t think much of the film. Helen, on the other hand, enjoyed
it.
I was upset. However, I didn’t say anything
Creating Cohesion
First of all, I want to welcome you to the meeting.
I didn’t think much of the film. Helen, on the other
hand, enjoyed it.
I was upset. However, I didn’t say anything.
Creating Cohesion
You now need to return to the English tab. The first activity is
called Spot the Connecting Adverb. The second activity is
called Grouping Connecting Adverbs. Once you have
completed both activities have a look at the answer sheets so
that you can self assess your work before uploading to the
English Forum.

How can we make our writing cohesive

  • 1. Wednesday 17th June 2020 How can we create cohesion in our writing?
  • 2. Creating Cohesion When the ideas within paragraphs link well together we say the paragraph has cohesion. You can think of cohesion like glue holding the text together. Cohesion in your writing will: • Keep order in the paragraph. • Keep related ideas together. • Make it easier for the reader to understand the text. • Make ideas flow more smoothly. • Provide links between ideas.
  • 3. Creating Cohesion We can connect ideas in separate sentences by using connecting adverbs. Connecting adverbs (and adverbial phrases and clauses) maintain the cohesion of a text in several ways, including: emphasis/addition – furthermore, moreover, also opposition – however, nevertheless, on the other hand, instead, in contrast, looking at it another way. reinforcing – besides, anyway, after all explaining – for example, in other words, that is to say listing - first of all, finally indicating result – therefore, consequently, as a result indicating time – just then, meanwhile, later, after
  • 4. Creating Cohesion • Connecting adverbs/adverbials can help to create cohesion within paragraphs. • They join separate sentences together and ensure that ideas flow more smoothly. • They can be used in different places in sentences. The brown bear looks cuddly. However, he is not a friendly animal. The brown bear looks cuddly. He is not, however, a friendly animal. However connects the ideas in the two separate sentences.
  • 5. Creating Cohesion Commas are often used to mark off connecting adverbs/adverbials. Can you spot the connecting adverbs / adverbials in these sentences? First of all, I want to welcome you to the meeting. I didn’t think much of the film. Helen, on the other hand, enjoyed it. I was upset. However, I didn’t say anything
