Make a Paper Airplane

Writers use transitions to organize details into patterns. In written language, these patterns make writing easier to follow, so that the writer’s thoughts can be understood. One kind of transition has to do with time order (sequence) and/or process. This means that ideas or events are presented in the order in which they occur. Transitions of sequence include dates, times and numbers. Processes are explained through steps or stages.
