My comrade in SOLO @clarky099 a little while back started to compile connectives that would encourage students to think at the next level. I have two lessons coming up, one of which is perfect for training the use of them, soon to be followed by an extended writing task. It is obvious that not only the literacy will be enhanced, but also in the thought behind the writing by use of these connectives. Building on the Damien's work, I have added and classified some connective against (and for use with ) SOLO taxonomy. Im hoping to gather more and especially collate some subject specific ones.
I'm using these tomorrow by (hopefully) listening in to student conversations and making notes on Post it notes to capture the connectives being used. At regular intervals I will use these notes to debrief the student conversation and hopefully modify it, so that they at the very least begin to use these connectives as part of their conversations.
There is a Google doc if anyone cares to contribute. SOLO CONNECTIVES
