Identifying Cause and Effect (Continued)<br />

Watch for unstated cause and effect. Sometimes signal words are not used. Examples:<br />

a) George’s car runs better now. <strong>The</strong> mechanic fixed the transmission.<br />

b) Florida advertises oranges on television to help the economy <strong>of</strong> the state.<br />

Organize the information in the passage to help you determine cause and effect.<br />

EVENT #1<br />

EFFECT<br />

EVENT #2<br />

We have to<br />

go out to eat.<br />

EVENT #2<br />

CAUSE<br />

I burned the dinner.<br />

EVENT #1<br />

In the graphics above, EVENT #1 is the CAUSE, because it happened first in time, and EVENT<br />
