Analyze Cause-and-Effect Text
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- English Language Arts
This reading comprehension lesson focuses on analyzing text that uses the cause-and-effect organizational pattern. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the text and identify signal words that indicate cause-and-effect relationships. Then they determine the cause and the effect. Finally, they identify the pattern -- single cause with single effect or multiple effects, or multiple causes with a single effect. In addition to the lesson, there are seven pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
