Recognize logical relationships signaled by transitions and sentence structure.

Strategy

الاستراتيجية

Teaching points

• Signals:
• because/since = reason
• therefore/consequently/as a result = result
• however/nevertheless = contrast
• although/even though = contrast inside a sentence
• for example = illustration
• STEP trap: understand the relationship, not just the transition word.

إشارات مهمة: - because/since = سبب - therefore/consequently/as a result = نتيجة - however/nevertheless = تعارض - although/even though = تعارض داخل الجملة - for example = مثال فخ STEP: افهم العلاقة نفسها وليس كلمة الربط فقط.
