Teacher's day

 Cause and Effect

Today I went to my university in the early morning. So, today I learned about Cause and Effect text. lt let me know about many things in this text.The text told me about  Cause and Effect is used to show how the facts or concepts result due to facts, events or concept. I had the opportunity to comment about The Titanic which is a tragedy story. I knew about many factors that make the ship was sunken. And I did the exercises with teacher such as the skills practice and the Effects of Stress. Finally, teacher assigned homework to me to do about a spider map  of Effect and Cause. And then, my friends were presenting about procedure next to the last week ago. Finally, it was a nice day for me.

This is a bit of knowledge about Cause and effect.

Everything in life has a cause and an effect. You study for a test you get a good grade. You forget your umbrella when it rains, you get wet. You break a rule you have a consequence.

Kids cause, deal with, and are involved in cause and effect situations every day, all day long; however, they may not know that they are dealing with cause and effect.

It is important for students to know and understand what cause and effect situations are. They should be able to identify an event that is responsible for the cause that resulted in an effect. Identifying these three things can help create analytical thinkers and minds that can work through complex problems. It will also help students socially; they will understand and be more willing to accept the consequences for their actions –whether good or bad. 

Key words to help find cause and effect statements: so, because, therefore, since, if, then, so that, without, cause, effect, how, explain.

These words are key because they will help students to identify cause and effect questions and statements as well as be able to write sentences that show the cause and effect relationship.

There can be many causes and effects that are the result of one event, for example:

For example, take David Goes to School by David Shannon. Here are some example questions that use the question stems above.

Using a multi-flow map you can quickly and easily show the event, cause and effect connections. For this story, the event is that David goes to school; the events that connect to this are all the things that happen because David is at school.

So now that you are armed and ready, you and your students should have lots of fun finding those cause and effect connections. Don't forget to look at and recognize those connections...everywhere!
