Week 18
"Connector Dominoes": conexión lógica de frases.

What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Applies connector rules to order and link fragmented statements into a cohesive argumentative text.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• Text cohesion: Moving beyond simple sentences to compound and complex structures.
• Contrast and cause: Aligning connectors (e.g., 'Although it was late, he study' vs 'It was late; therefore, he slept').
• Punctuation with connectors: Using semicolons and commas (e.g., '; however, ').

Practical Challenge: Connector Dominoes

Play a domino-style card matching game where you must pair clause cards (causes) with connector and result cards to build logical sentences.

Reflection & Wrap-up

Self-assessment Question: Combine these sentences using 'consequently' or 'however': 'Public transport is slow. Many people choose to drive.'
