Today I am practising: connecting an event to what happened because of it
1
Find one event in a short text.
2
Write or draw what happened first.
3
Finish: This happened because ___.
4
Draw an arrow to show what happened next.
5
Sort one pair: rain falls / the ground gets wet. Which is the cause?
6
Explain one cause-and-effect pair to an adult using because.
- Use one clear event at a time rather than asking for a whole plot summary.
- Say the two parts in reverse order if needed: What happened? Why did it happen?
- Accept drawings or dictated phrases before requiring complete sentences.
