Cause and Effect

The document outlines a lesson plan to teach students to compare and contrast cause and effect patterns in written texts. It includes introducing the concept of cause and effect, having students identify examples in sample texts, recording their findings on a graphic organizer, sharing as a class, assessing their understanding through an exit slip, and extending the lesson with an writing activity.

Objective: Students will be able to compare and contrast patterns of written texts,

specifically cause and effect.

Materials:

 Whiteboard and markers


 Copies of texts with cause and effect patterns (e.g. news articles, short stories,
non-fiction texts, etc.)
 Graphic organizer (Venn diagram)

Introduction (10 minutes):

1. Begin by explaining the concept of cause and effect. Ask the students if they
know what it means and give examples of cause and effect relationships (e.g. If it
rains, the ground gets wet).
2. Write the following sentence on the board: "The wind blew the hat off my head."
Ask the students to identify the cause and effect in the sentence (wind blew =
cause, hat off my head = effect).
3. Explain to the students that today we will be focusing on identifying and
comparing cause and effect patterns in written texts.

Instruction (30 minutes):

1. Pass out copies of different texts to small groups of students.


2. Have the students read the texts together and identify the cause and effect
relationships within the texts.
3. Once the students have identified the cause and effect relationships, have them
record them on their graphic organizers.
4. After the students have finished, bring the class back together and ask each
group to share their findings. Write the cause and effect relationships on the
board as each group shares.
5. Once all groups have shared, ask the class to compare and contrast the cause
and effect patterns they found. Ask them to identify any similarities or differences
between the texts.

Assessment (10 minutes):

1. Have the students complete an exit slip where they write down one similarity and
one difference they noticed between the texts they read.
2. Collect the exit slips and review them to see if the students were able to
successfully identify and compare cause and effect patterns.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

1. Wrap up the lesson by reviewing the concept of cause and effect and discussing
why it is important to be able to identify and compare these patterns in written
texts.
2. Ask the students if they have any questions or if there is anything they would like
to discuss further.

Extension Activity: Have the students write their own short stories or news articles with
cause and effect patterns. Have them exchange stories with a partner and compare and
contrast the cause and effect relationships within each other's stories.
