Lesson Script: Cause and Effect

Objective

By the end of this lesson, students will understand the concept of cause and effect, be able to identify examples in sentences, and create their own examples.

Introduction (5 minutes)

Good morning, class! Today, we are going to explore something very interesting in English called cause and effect.

• Cause: This is an event or situation that makes something happen.
• Effect: This is what happens as a result of the cause.

For example, if it rains (cause), the ground gets wet (effect).

Explanation of Cause and Effect (10 minutes)

Let’s break it down with some simple examples.

Example 1:

• Cause: The sun was shining brightly.
• Effect: The ice cream melted.

Here, the bright sun is the cause, and the melting ice cream is the effect!

Example 2:

• Cause: She forgot to water the plants.
• Effect: The plants died.

When she forgot to water them, the effect was that the plants did not survive.

Let’s try finding cause and effect in everyday situations. Can anyone think of another example?

Activity 1: Identifying Cause and Effect (10 minutes)

Now, I am going to read out some sentences, and I want you to tell me what the cause and effect is.

1. When the school bell rings, the students go outside.

   • Cause: ____
   • Effect: ____

2. He studied hard for his test, so he got an A.

   • Cause: ____
   • Effect: ____

3. The wind was strong, so the tree fell over.

   • Cause: ____
   • Effect: ____

Great job! Now let’s check your answers together!

Answers:

1. Cause: The school bell rings; Effect: The students go outside.
2. Cause: He studied hard for his test; Effect: He got an A.
3. Cause: The wind was strong; Effect: The tree fell over.

Activity 2: Create Your Own Examples (5 minutes)

Now I want you to think about your day. Can you create a cause and effect sentence of your own?

Please write down a cause, and then describe the effect that follows it!

Example structure:

• Cause: ____
• Effect: ____

Give them a minute to write down their sentences, and I will ask for a few volunteers to share!

Conclusion (2 minutes)

Great work today, everyone! Remember that understanding cause and effect helps us make sense of the world around us.

• When you read stories or even in real life, think about what causes things to happen and what effects follow.

Homework (8 minutes)

For homework, please complete the following tasks:

1. Write three cause and effect sentences using your own examples.
2. Draw a picture to illustrate one of your cause and effect sentences.

Correct Answers (Teacher's Reference):

• There are no specific answers for this homework since it is based on personal examples, but ensure that the sentences correctly follow the cause and effect structure.
