Welcome to our newsletter. This week we've revised our popular cause and effect lesson with an informational video and free worksheet. We're trying to add videos to all our writing and grammar skills so that students (& teachers) receive a visual overview of that particular area.

What is cause and effect?
|
Cause and effect is a relationship between events or things where one is the result of the other or others. This is a combination of action and reaction. Something happens (a cause) that leads to an effect.
|
In academic writing it is necessary to be able to express the relationship between causes and their effects, or effects and their causes.
