Structure the Cause Essay Introduction · Provide thesis, basis for causal chain, and identify effect or effects; the key question is, What caused this? Body · Discuss various links in the causal chain, either tracing it backwards from effect to first cause, or beginning with the first cause. · Use transitions to ANALYZE the process rather than simply providing what amounts to a glorified play-by play narration (also know as process) · Present the causes chronologically and without missing links. Conclusion · Return to thesis, then speculate on possible first causes to right a bad effect or possible other causes that might have destroyed or otherwise altered the good effect.

Structure of the Effects Essay Introduction · Provide thesis and basis for effects, describe primary cause; may use more than one paragraph. The key question is, What effects result from this cause?
