Your assignment this week is to identify three examples of cause and effect in the book you are reading at home. Using the following conjunctions may help:
*since
*as a result
*because + noun phrase
*therefore
*due to + noun phrase
*consequently
*for this reason
*so
As always, please include the title and author of the text as well as a clear topic sentence. Also, to show understanding, please label each cause and effect.
Example: In the book, Wonder, by RJ Palacio, there are several examples of cause and effect. Since Auggie was born with a facial abnormality (cause), most people stare when they meet him for the first time (effect). Another example of cause and effect is when Auggie's family is talking about the principal of his new school: "His name is Mr. Tushman" (cause) and everyone in the family starts laughing uncontrollably (effect). Because Auggie shares the way Julian treated him when they first met (cause), Auggie's mom begins to have doubts about sending him to school (effect).
