We will begin today's lesson by defining cohesion and coherence.

Cohesion is basically the manner in which ideas in writing connect together.

Coherence is a measure of the readers ability to clearly understand what has been written by the writer.

I have defined thes here to allow you to take some notes.

Cohesion refers to the ability a piece of writing has to link ideas together in a logical manner.

Proper cohesion makes it easy for a reader to understand the argument and logical progression of the writers position.

So cohesion helps the reader understand how the writers ideas are connected and how the writer is logically structuring their argument.

Coherence is the ability of a writer's writing to retain meaning and be composed in a manner that is understandable.
