Cause & Effect {Anchor Chart Thursdays}

Hi ya'll!  

I'm back again this week with a new

Our reading skill for this week was cause & effect.

I introduced cause & effect with this anchor chart.  The students also had all the information (with a little extra) from the anchor chart in a note format for their literacy binder.

To give examples of cause & effect, we watched an animated version of Strega Nona which has a ton of cause/effect relationships.

You can access the animated version here.  It is from PBS so you will need to login or register.

We watched it the first time while just listening.  During the second viewing, I had the students jot down a few cause/effect relationships they noticed.
Here are a few of my sweet students working hard!

 We recorded these on our Strega Nona anchor chart.  We then discussed a few graphic organizers they could use to represent cause and effect.
