Cause and Effect

Sunshine State Standard - LA.4.1.7.4 - identify cause-and-effect relationships in text

Cause and Effect can help you understand why characters in a story act and feel as they do.


Cause = Why - Something that makes something else happen.

Effect = What - what happens as a result of the cause.

CAUSE

EFFECT

The boy kicked the ball.

The ball rolled.

The girl teased the cat.

The cat growled.

Sally studied hard for a test.

Sally earned an A on her test.

Joe became really tired.

Joe went to sleep early.


At times connecting words are used to link the cause and effect. Examples of connecting words are:

because, so, consequently, therefore, due to the fact, since, as a result, the reason for, thus, nevertheless
