Which of the following is an example of a transition statement?

  1. You need to bring your textbook to class

  2. Now class, let’s put all books away and get ready for music

  3. This is the end of the topic

  4. Please focus on your individual projects now

The correct answer is: Now class, let’s put all books away and get ready for music

The choice that represents a transition statement is indeed about guiding students smoothly from one activity or topic to another. In this case, the statement aligns with creating a clear shift in focus, indicating to the students that it is time to put away their books and prepare for a different subject area: music. Transition statements serve to prepare students for what is coming next and help them mentally adjust to the change in activity or focus. The other options, while they each convey important information, do not serve the same transitional purpose. The first option provides a directive without indicating a shift in activities, the third option implies the conclusion of a topic but does not guide students into the next phase, and the fourth option instructs students to focus on their projects but does not provide a contextual transition from a previous activity or subject.
