Cause and Effect

     This week we have been working on cause and effect in reading. We will continue to work on it next week. Cause is something that makes something else happen. Effect is what happens as a result of the cause. When you are trying to determine cause and effect, you need to ask yourself two questions. You ask yourself "Why did it happen?" to determine cause. "What happened?" is what is asked when your are trying to determine the effect.
     Here are some sites that will help you to practice cause and effect.

QUIA Matching - You match the cause to its effect.
Quizzes - It is a multiple choice quiz related to some sample texts.
FCAT Express - This site was designed for 4th grade but still contains good information.

     This is also a PowerPoint that I will be using with the class next week.

     Hopefully, these links and the slideshow above will make cause and effect easier to understand.
