Transitions

Check that you have a transition word in each of your main points.
Your transitions should ideally be embedded in your main point.

Example:

NO - Next, O’Dell uses a tranquil island setting
Yes - O’Dell additionally uses a tranquil island setting

3. Change the font of your transitions to bold or a different font

***Work on your transitions for 5-10 minutes
