  1. Coherence

  2. co·her·enceThe quality or state of cohering, especially a logical, orderly, and aesthetically consistent relationship of parts.

  3. Coherencedescribes a writer’s ability to connect ideas and provide information ina fluid and comprehensible way. At the paragraph level, coherence is achievedthrough lexical and sentence structure choices. Basically, a reader needs you to:1. Use parallel sentence structure.2. Repeat key terms.3. Use transitional words and phrases.

  4. "Flow, those visible links which bind the sentences of a paragraph, can be established in two basic ways . . . . The first is to establish a master plan at the beginning of the paragraph and to introduce each new idea by a word or phrase that marks its place in the plan. The second concentrates on linking sentences successively as the paragraph develops, making sure that each statement connects with the one or ones preceding it."

  5. "Texts can be coherent at what is called the 'local level' and the 'global level.' Local-level coherence is that which occurs within small portions of texts, usually within texts no longer than a paragraph. A text is said to have global coherence, on the other hand, if the text hangs together as a whole."
