Frame Finish
This worksheet provides sentence frames for students to complete, such as “To sum up,” “Overall,” and “Given all these points.” Students fill in the blanks to complete each frame with a relevant concluding thought for their paragraph. This guided practice allows them to explore how different phrases can introduce a conclusion, helping them to feel comfortable using a variety of transition words. By the end, they are better equipped to conclude paragraphs smoothly and clearly.
Working with sentence frames enhances sentence fluency and language variation by introducing students to diverse concluding phrases. This type of exercise supports structural knowledge, making students aware of common ways to end a paragraph. Practicing with frames builds confidence in using transitional phrases, allowing for more seamless and engaging conclusions. It also boosts vocabulary and expression variety, which are key in effective writing.
