Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce the concept of cause and effect. Use examples from daily life. Ask students for their examples.
2	Direct Instruction	10	Explain the terms 'cause' and 'effect' in depth. Use a visual aid if possible. Provide sentence structures that indicate cause and effect (e.g., "If..., then...").
3	Group Activity	10	Split the class into small groups of 4. Provide each group with a printed passage. Instruct them to identify and highlight the causes and effects in the text.
4	Class Discussion	3	Regroup and discuss findings. Each group shares one example of cause and effect from their passage (no need to present entire passage).
5	Independent Practice	2	Distribute cause and effect graphic organizers. Students independently complete it by writing their own cause and effect sentences.
6	Wrap-up and Homework	2	Review key points of the lesson. Assign students to write a short paragraph using at least two cause and effect relationships for homework to be submitted the next class without presentations.

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during discussions and group activities.
• Review completed graphic organizers for understanding of cause and effect.
• Evaluate homework for correct usage of cause and effect in sentences.

Adjustments

• Provide additional support to students who may struggle by offering sentence starters or examples.
• Challenge advanced students by asking them to find more complex cause and effect relationships.

Homework

Write a short paragraph (5-7 sentences) using at least two cause and effect relationships. Submit it in the next class.
