Reason And Result

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is focused on signal words that denote cause and effect relationships within sentences. Students are presented with a list of phrases such as “consequently,” “because,” and “therefore,” among others, and are instructed to choose only those that specifically indicate cause and effect. The task is to use each of the selected signal words in a sentence, demonstrating their understanding of how these words connect a cause with its subsequent effect. Blank lines are provided for students to write their sentences, applying the signal words in context.

The worksheet’s objective is to educate students on the use of cause and effect signal words in constructing sentences that clearly communicate a causal relationship. It teaches them to differentiate between various types of signal words and to select those that are appropriate for showing why something happens (the cause) and what happens as a result (the effect). This exercise enhances students’ ability to analyze and articulate complex relationships in writing, which is a critical skill in academic and real-world contexts. By completing this activity, students can improve both their writing coherence and their ability to recognize cause and effect in various texts.
