unnecessary transition signals and make 
further edits. Then have them rewrite the 
paragraph at home.

exchange papers for Practice 10. Have them 
read each other’s paragraphs and check for 
correct use of transitions and punctuation. 
Students should discuss errors or misuse of 
transitions with the writer.
