Notes:
Recognizing cause-and-effect relationships helps you better understand the events the writer relates. A cause is an event or action that directly results in another action or event. An effect is the direct outcome of an event.

Hw: Give me an example of an event that has happened in your life that was a cause-and-effect relationship. Then, tell me what you think would have happened if that cause were taken away. (10 pts.) For example:

Last year, after lots of begging and pleading, my parents bought me a dog. Now I have a lot of added responsibility. Each morning I have to walk and feed the dog, and then again at night time. If it were not for this dog, I would be able to sleep in on Saturday mornings and not have to be home right away after school.
