Sentence Starters: Introducing Evidence / Elaboration Techniques - Printable

Are you tired of reading the same generic responses from your students? This useful charts helps students improve on their argumentative writing skills by adding variation to their sentences/transitions. It displays different sentence starters (and verbs) to help students introduce and elaborate on evidence when writing their essays (great way to add syntactic variety to formulaic written responses!).

► These charts may be printed out and laminated for students to use in the classroom/at home (They also work well with distance learning!). These strategies go well with the PEEL strategy (Point, Evidence, Elaboration, Link) but can be used in any writing assignment that requires students to use evidence to prove their claims.
