Logical Connectors: bridging ideas and punctuation rules

Section role: supports the 'Building the Logical Bridge' section while the teacher formalizes connector categories and addresses punctuation. Slides: (1) Title — 'Building the Logical Bridge'; (2) Student Findings — comparing 'In contrast' versus 'On the other hand' from Section 2 group solutions; (3) The Four Pillars — defining Addition, Contrast, Causation, and Sequencing with concrete examples; (4) Punctuation Rules — showing correct usage of semicolons and commas with conjunctive adverbs like 'Consequently' and 'However'; (5) The Overkill Trap — a bad example of mechanical prose jammed with too many markers, contrasted with fluid pacing; (6) Summary Slide — brief recap of connector strength and subtlety. Closing slide: 'How do you choose between contrasting and conceding in your essay introduction?' — sets up the individual calibration assessment in Section 4.
