Explain that each action (cause) has consequences (effects). Model an example:
Cuando tiramos
basura a los ríos (causa), se contaminan y los animales que viven en esos ríos se enferman y mueren
(efectos).
(When we throw garbage in rivers [cause], they become polluted and the animals that live
there get sick and die [effects].) Discuss and analyze cause and effect relationships with students.
X
Ask students to read one of the chapters again, paying special attention to cause and effect
relationships. Next, have students use their cards and charts from the Reading section and the
information in the text to fill in a cause-and-effect chart
(Graphic Organizer #4) for the chapter they
just re-read. Then have student pairs discuss their graphic organizers, evaluating and explaining
their choices.
X
Have students choose one of the stories and write a four-sentence summary of the problem the
animal had and its solution. Then, ask students to use their summaries to retell the story in small
groups. Assign different stories to students so that they have different stories to retell.
