Starter

1. On a scale of 1-4 (1 = confidence is underground it’s so low, 4 = supremely confident), how confident are you in your transitions in this thesis right now? 
2. When are transitions easy to write? When are they difficult?

Transition Peer Critique
Trade papers with your assigned partner. 

1. For each transition (looking at the last sentence of one paragraph and the first sentence of the next)
   1. Highlight any mirrored language (words/phrases that are the same or very similar)
   2. Highlight in a different color transitional phrases (see the list from the handout on your table)
2. Choose the two WORST transitions. In a comment on the side of the paper, rewrite them using mirrored language, transitional phrases, or both.
3. When you get your paper back, review the transitions and the highlights. If your transitions are missing mirrored language AND transitional phrases, rewrite them to include at least one of these!  Think carefully about logical connections, and maintaining accurate topic sentences. 

Revision Work Time 

1. Revise all transitions
