Warm-up  Choose one of the following to answer: A. What people, events, or other forces have caused you to become who you are today? In other words, what has caused you to become “you”? B. What effect do you hope to have on the world? In what way(s), big or small, do you want to change the people or places around you?

[ Mini-lesson ] Cause/Effect essay

What is it?  A cause and effect essay examines the causes and/or effects of a given issue or event  One of the formats used on the NC Writing Test

Helpful definitions  Cause – a force of some kind that makes something happen or creates a change  Effect – The consequence or result of a cause

Practice  With your neighbor, come up with possible causes and effects for each item listed below.  You make a failing grade on a quiz  The NBHS Bears win the state football championship  Mr. Smith walks down the stairs with too many books in his arms  Aliens land a UFO in your backyard  You pass English with an ‘A’ and make a ‘4’ on the writing test

How do I start?  Prewriting  Brainstorm as many effects as you can come up with for your topic  Choose your three strongest effects  Use mapping to generate as many concrete details as you can that relate to each effect you identified  Drafting  Remember to start with a hook  Make sure you have B/M/E  Discuss each effect and its details in a logical order
