Lesson
Identify and use signals that
1 indicate coherence
Communication is part of our daily lives. However, there are instances where
miscommunication occurs for one finds it difficult to convey their message.
Transition signals are helpful tools for us to relay our messages effectively.
Learning to use them would help avoid miscommunication.

What’s In

Activity 1 Connecting Ideas

________First, rinse the cut or wound with water and apply pressure with sterile
gauze, a bandage, or a clean cloth.

What is the process shown in the paragraph?

Yes! The paragraph shows the process on how to conduct first aid.
Is learning how to do first aid important?

Certainly, it is important. Learning how to do first aid is helpful in assisting people

having injuries.
How were you able to connect the sentences?

You’re correct! The first word in each sentence gives you a clue on the arrangement of
the sentences.
What do you call these words that serve as connectors?

Yes! These words are called transition signals. You will know more about transition
signals and how to use them in writing as you move on to the different activities of
this module.

 What is It

The underlined words in the comic strip that you have just read are examples of
transition signals.

Transition signals are used to connect or link words, phrases or sentences.

They help the readers understand the connection of ideas presented by the author.
In addition, transitions also tell the reader what to do with the information
presented to them. They function as signs that signals the readers how to think
about, organize, and react to old and new ideas.
Transition signals show cause-effect relationship, condition, sequence of events,
clarification of ideas, and additional information.

Let us take a look at the examples shown in the comic strip:

signals. Identify how they are used in the paragraph. (Give a cue as to the number
of transition signals that can be found in the paragraph given based on the signals’
classification or category)

Paragraph #1

During the months from May to September, the Loggerhead turtle comes
ashore to nest at night. First the turtle crawls out of the sea to the beach in search
of the right place to build a nest for its eggs. Once the location is identified, the
turtle digs a hole with its flippers that measures 8" wide and 18" deep. Next, the
turtle lays around 120 eggs the size of ping-pong balls. The turtle then covers the
nest by throwing sand over the nest with its flippers. The turtle does this to protect
the eggs from predators. Finally, the turtle makes its way back to the sea, and does
not return to attend to the nest.

in fact

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio warned and prepared for the "reality"
that the Covid-19 would soon reach the city. That "reality" was already evident
when the Department of Health (DOH) already reported confirmed cases in Davao
Region. ____________1, the mayor ordered the suspension of some offices and
establishments. ____________2,mass transportations were limited to prevent people
from moving elsewhere. Dr. Anthony Tesoro already saw the impact a community
quarantine would have, ____________3it would deprive people of access to health
care service as clinics and hospitals are hotspots for transmission. This led him to
propose the telephone medicine or telemedicine. Telemedicine in the country is still
at its infancy stage as it was only rapidly adopted by DOH and the National Privacy
Commission as an alternative medical approach following the Covid-19 outbreak.
____________4a legal framework has yet to be formalized. For other countries like
South Korea, telemedicine is a viable solution. The concept of telemedicine,
____________5, has been practiced in the United States more than 50 years ago,
which aims to reach patients in remote locations.

Paragraph #2

Moreover Furthermore
Therefore

The concept of fairness is central to understanding plagiarism. Fairness

means being fair both to yourself and others. ____________1, everybody both gives
and receives their proper due, and nobody has anything to complain about. For
example, an incident involving unfairness could be taking someone else’s work and
passing it off as your own. ____________2, the person whose work has been taken
receives no recognition or acknowledgement for their research and thinking.
____________3, writers who plagiarize are not being fair to themselves because they
are not developing their own independent academic skills. ____________4, students
who do their own work with due acknowledgement of the work of others should
develop their own academic skills and self-confidence far more than those who
merely misuse the work of others.
