We've been working on cause and effect for about 4 weeks now (see December 3 entry), starting with pictures, then working through a short story and several informational texts. We've done cut and paste charts, and six warm-ups on cause and effect. Throughout instruction we've been looking for the charts that contain mostly all the main cause and effect relationships from the reading, and that show the flow of action with arrows for direction. Now it's time to show what you know! There will be a test on Cause and Effect in class on Thursday and Friday (1/14 and 1/15).
