effect in the sentences, let’s move on to
writing paragraphs showing cause and effect
relation.

Cause and Effect Paragraph is a method in

which the writer analyzes the reason and the
consequences or result of an action, event or
decision.

Before you write a Cause and Effect

paragraph, these are some reminders:
1. Reasons for writing
a. Solve a problem
Example: you want to show the
cause and effect of COVID19

b. To predict an outcome
- you want to show other
possible outcomes of COVID19

c. To understand a situation
- It is important to make your
readers understand how
serious the COVID19 is.

d. To entertain

e. To persuade
- To convince your readers how
important to follow the safety
protocols is

2. Organize the ideas in your paragraph

through brain storming.
Format when writing about causes and
effects:
- Topic sentence- statement
about the effect and overview
of causes.
It is the in beginning of the
paragraph.
- Supporting sentences- causes
arranged in chronological
order.
- Conclusion – restatement of
effect, summary of causes –
call for action.

3. Decide on the focus of your paragraph

to achieve unity in your work.
4. Improve coherence by limiting the
number of causes or effects to two or
three.
5. Include transition words which focus
on the purpose of the paragraph and
supporting sentences which identify
the cause or effects.

Transition words for cause:

 Because of
As
Owing to
For
Since
Due to
In that
Cause
For the reason that
So that
Unless
The main reason
When

transition words for effect:

So
For this reason
As a result
If
Consequently
Effect
Otherwise
Therefore
And thus

This is an example or Cause and Effect

Paragraph.

About 75 million people died from the

bubonic plague during the 14 th century. Half
of the population of Italy fell victim to the
disease. The plague caused high fever,
swollen glands, dark bruises or sores on the
face, and spitting of blood. Most people who
got the disease died within five days. The
disease was spread by fleas from rats. Lack of
sanitation and poor medical knowledge
account for the continuous plague pandemics
throughout the 14th century.

We will focus on the EFFECTS.

What is the topic sentence in the paragraph?

Good! That is the topic sentence. The

supporting sentences in the paragraph
contains the effects. Can you identify the
supporting sentences?

Good! Those sentences shows the effects in

the paragraph.

How about the conclusion?

Very good!

IV. GENERALIZATIO Since you can now identify the topic

N sentence, supporting sentences and
conclusion focusing effects, let’s now try
finding it while focusing on causes.

Divorce is a complex issue with more than

one cause. Lack of communication is one of
the leading causes of divorce. You can’t have
an effective relationship if either one of you
won’t discuss your feelings, can’t talk about
your mutual or personal issues. What is more,
financial problems are a possible cause of
disagreement between couples. Married
couples could argue about their financial
responsibilities or unequal financial status.
Thus, this leads to the end of the marriage. A
third cause is bad habits such as alcohol
addiction or gambling. Due to the fact that
drug and alcohol abuse as well as excessive
gambling is harmful to the marriage, couples
decide to end their marriage. To sum up, lack
of communication, financial problems and bad
habits are major causes of the divorce.

Identify the topic sentence. The topic sentence in the

paragraph is Divorce is a
complex issue with more
than one cause.

Good! Now, identify the supporting sentences

focusing on the “cause” Supporting sentences:

Cause 1- Lack of
communication is one of
the leading causes of
divorce.

Cause 2- What is more,

 financial problems are a
possible cause of
disagreement between
couples.

Cause 3 - A third cause is

bad habits such as
alcohol addiction or
gambling.

Very good! All your answers are correct. Now,

identify the conclusion. The conclusion in the
paragraph is “To sum up,
lack of communication,
financial problems and
bad habits are major
causes of the divorce.”

Good! Do you understand our lesson? Yes, teacher.

V. APPLICATION Based from your experiences, create a

paragraph that contains:

1. Topic sentence
2. Three supporting sentences.
3. Conclusion

Any topic will do.
