Cause and Effect

This week students are learning about cause and effect during the reading block.  Cause and effect is when one event causes another to happen.  The cause is why it happens, and the effect is what happened.  Completing this foldable during our carpet reading really made this concept concrete and tangible for students' understanding.

Then students were able to work with their partner to identify causes and effects in a story during shared reading.  As they did, students were able to articulate their ideas and responses with each other.  Then students wrote down their response on the white board.
