 Cause and Effect

a reason or without some
kind of consequence.

things happen and what
occurs when they do, the
technique you use is
called cause and effect.

Cause and Effect
Cause is why something happened.
Effect is the result of what happened.
Because effects always have causes and
causes always lead to effects, we rarely see
one without the other.

RPDP Secondary
Literacy
• The cause is the first thing that happens.
• It makes the second thing (the effect) happen.
• The part of the sentence after the word because
is the cause.
• The cause answers the question why?

Example:
I stayed home from school
because I had the flu.
RPDP Secondary
Literacy
Cause and Effect
• The effect is the second thing that happens.
• The effect answers the questions:
What happened?
What was the result?

Example:
Jaime was going too fast and fell off his bicycle.
 Look at the pictures below.
Match the CAUSE with the EFFECT
• Cause • Effect

GREAT JOB!!

 Remember these tips…
• The CAUSE happens FIRST
– Ask yourself, what had to happen first?
• The EFFECT happens SECOND
– Ask yourself, what happened last?
• Also: C before E (In the alphabet)
– Cause before Effect!
• Look for clue words
– Because, since, so, on account of, due to the
fact
