The document discusses the use of graphic organizers to illustrate cause and effect relationships in texts, helping to clearly visualize these patterns. It explains how different causes can lead to multiple effects and vice versa, showcasing the complexity of these relationships. Fishbone diagrams are highlighted as effective tools for organizing and categorizing information related to causes and effects.

2. Cause and Effect The reason something has happened is the cause Reason = Cause What occurs as a r esult of this action is the effect Result = Effect

3. Graphic Organizers for Cause and Effect You can use graphic organizers to map the cause and effect pattern in texts. This way you will be able to visualize the various cause-effect relationships clearly.

4. Graphic Organizers for Cause and Effect Sometimes one cause may lead to several effects and those effects in turn become the cause of another effect or implication.

5. One cause  Several effects

6. One cause  Several effects

7. One cause  Several effects

8. Several causes  one effect

9. Several causes  one effect

10. Several causes  one effect

11. Several causes can create a problem or event, which will in turn lead to a number of effects

12. Causes  Problem  Effect

13. Causes  Event  Effect

14. Two or more kinds of causes can lead to different types of effects. Fishbone diagrams are ideal for visualizing multiple information in different categories and aspects of complex topics.

15. Positive and Negative Effects

16. Four different categories of causes  one effect

17. Six categories of causes  one effect

18. Causes and effects in two levels

19. Multiple causes  one effect

20. Match causes and effects…
