Cause and Effect - A Strategy Lesson Plan

Guide students to think more deeply about cause and effect. Start with a discussion that leads students through the thought process of how simple cause and effect statements can have deeper implications and underlying causes. Help students understand that what might initially be understood as a cause might only be a correlation, misconception, or different even for a similar situation. Provide time for students to explore a topic, text, or video and dissect the cause and effect statements found throughout.
