This ppt presentation was used by my sister in her GRADE 3 Class. This is just a simple cause and effect presentation, but I'm sure that it will be really effective for you, and even if you will also use it in your discussion. Hope you like it!.

3. CAUSE
•A cause is what makes something
happens. To find the cause, you need
to ask yourself, “What happened first?”
•Cause happens first, but does not
always come first in sentences and
texts.

4. EFFECT
•Is what happens because of something else
(the cause). To find the effect, you need to
act yourself, ”What happened second?”.

5. SIGNAL WORDS
•This will help you to identify the two parts
of cause and effect relationship. The most
common signal words used are: because, if,
when, so, then, since, therefore, before,
after, etc.
