Cause And Effect

Worksheet Description

The worksheet displayed is focused on the cause and effect text structure, a specific way that authors can organize information within their writing. It defines text structure and emphasizes that a text in cause and effect order discusses the impact that one person, thing, or event has on another. The worksheet provides a visual layout with two columns labeled “CAUSE” and “EFFECT,” with arrows pointing from the cause to the effect, indicating the directional flow of influence. Students are instructed to read an assigned text and then document the causes and their respective effects as described by the author.

This worksheet is designed to teach students how to identify and analyze the cause and effect relationships in a text. By directing students to differentiate between the causes and effects, it enhances their analytical reading skills. The aim is to improve the students’ understanding of this specific organizational pattern and how it can be used to structure information effectively. Additionally, the worksheet encourages critical thinking as students must deduce the underlying reasons behind events and their subsequent outcomes in the texts they read.
