Writing Tips
• Look for words such as…– Since– So– Because– Therefore– Due to the fact
…to join cause and effect sentences.
• Use cause and effect in paragraphs to explain how things work
OR• how something
happens.
Two things have to happen in a cause and effect sentence!
• A CAUSE is what makes something happen.
• An EFFECT is what happens as a result of the cause.
• Look at the pictures below.
• What is the cause?________________

• The CAUSE happens FIRST– Ask yourself, what had to happen first?
• The EFFECT happens SECOND– Ask yourself, what happened last?
