Performance Task 2 in
READING AND WRITING

Transitions (or signal words) are words and phrases that show the connection between ideas.

Some types of signal words:

1. Addition words tell you that the writer’s thought is going to continue in the same direction. He is going to
add more points or details of the same kind. Addition words are typically used to signal enumeration. Look
over some additional words. Sample:

also first furthermore likewise and

another first of all in addition moreover second
finally, for one thing last of all next the third reason

ACTIVITY
Read the selections below and circle the emphasis words. Note the example. (3points each for every correct
answer.
Exercise 1:

1. Despite favorable surface conditions, there were throughout the 1920’s defects in the American economy. First,
some major industries did not experience the general prosperity which characterized most of the economy. Meager
farm income meant that farmers lacked purchasing power to buy their share of the increased output of goods and
services. Coal, textiles, and shoes were among other industries which suffered from low-profit margins. Moreover,
while employment rose during the 1920¹s, the biggest gains were in the low-paid service trades rather than in those
industries where earnings were high. Furthermore, the condition of American foreign trade was not as healthy as it
appeared. (3 signal words)

2. Cause-and-effect words signal that the author is going to describe results or effects. Look over
the following cause-and-effect words.
because cause thus as a result
therefore reason consequently if . . . then
so that effect since result in
Exercise 2:
There are several possible reasons why retail prices are set to end on certain odd or even numbers. The practice
is supposed to have started many years ago when retailers priced products so that clerks were forced to record the
sale and make a change. This discouraged the clerks from pocketing the money from sales. Some people believe
that the practice of odd-even pricing continues today because consumers view these prices as bargains. If the price
of the shirt is only $14.95, then they are able to spend “less than $15 for a shirt.” (4 signal words)
Exercise 3:
Direction: Choose three additional words and three Cause-and-effect words and use them in a sentence.
