Cause And Effect

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an educational tool designed to teach students how to identify cause and effect relationships in text using signal words. The exercise includes a short narrative about John planning a party, within which students must underline sentences that exhibit a cause and effect relationship. Following this, they are instructed to extract and record this information into a table provided, classifying the cause, the signal word, and the effect for each identified sentence. The table is a structured format that encourages analytical thinking and organization of textual information.

The purpose of the worksheet is to develop students’ abilities to discern how events are interconnected through cause and effect within a narrative. It aims to improve critical reading skills by focusing on signal words that indicate such relationships, like “since,” “because,” or “as a result.” This recognition helps students understand the logical flow of events and enhances their capacity to write clearly and cohesively. The activity not only reinforces vocabulary related to cause and effect but also promotes the skill of summarizing complex information in a simplified manner.
