LET’S IDENTIFY CAUSE AND EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS
The helicopter flew through the snowy mountains, taking tourists on a sightseeing
trip. As the helicopter flew past an especially tall mountain, the loud sound of
the rotors triggered an avalanche. The pilot told the passengers to watch the amazing sight. The sliding snow gathered speed as
it roared down the mountainside. It crushed an abandoned lookout station in its
path. The passengers were worried until the pilot said, “Don’t worry. Nobody’s use that lookout stations for decades.” The
passengers breathed sighs of relief.
SO…The avalanche started when the
helicopter flew past a tall mountain. The loud noise of the helicopter caused the avalanche.
So that’s a cause-and-effect connection. The noise was the cause, and the avalanche the
effect.
THINK PAIR SHAREWhat caused the destruction of the
lookout station?The avalancheWhat happened because the pilot told the
passengers that the station was unused?
The passengers breathed sighs of relief

“The Obsolete Dragon”by: Carole G. Vogel
This story contains elements of various fairy tales
Obsolete means no longer in use
SO AFTER READING…I think that I can make a cause and effect
connection here. Maid Gwendolyn comes to see Sir Dragon. Why does she do this? She tells him that she does not
want to marry Sir Grimbald. She tells the dragon that she wants him to fight and defeat Sir Grimbald. So the cause
is that Maid Gwendolyn wants Sir Dragon to defeat Sir Grimbald. The
effect is that she goes to see Sir Dragon. I connected why a character did
something with the thing she did.
