OBJECTIVES Students will be able to: • • Distinguish between causes and effects. Make cause and effect statements.

This resource delves into the concept of cause and effect, defining key terms and providing a structured approach to understanding how events relate to one another. It begins by clearly defining 'cause' as the reason something happens, and 'effect' as the result of that event. The document includes real-world examples, connecting words, and sentence starters to assist learners in formulating their own cause-and-effect statements. Various practice sections prompt students to predict results based on given causes, match causes to effects, and create their own scenarios. It also encourages deeper thinking by asking students to consider the implications of removing a cause. This resource is designed to enhance comprehension and writing skills related to causal relationships.
