Repetition and Word Associations — Year 6
Repetition and Word Associations — Year 6
Repetition and Word Associations — Year 6 is a complete English unit for teaching cohesion as a set of deliberate writer choices.
Students learn how purposeful repetition maintains continuity or creates emphasis, how word associations and lexical chains keep a topic active, and how synonyms, antonyms, general terms and linking language clarify relationships between ideas.
The sequence begins with visual references and editable PowerPoint instruction. Students then sort and connect vocabulary, play a collaborative cohesion game, analyse short passages, repair weak paragraphs and create original cohesive writing.
