Nearly every classroom teacher works on cause and effect relationships, but it's such a hard skill for students. This project can help BREAK IT DOWN for your kids. It includes teaching materials, guided practice and independent work. It can be used as a work station, in interactive notebooks, with strategy groups, or as an at home project.

The focus:

Students explore the difference between cause and effect, work on signal words, create example situations, sort examples, illustrate examples, find examples in reading, and explain their learning. A grading rubric is included.
