Write a 3-paragraph essay explaining one specific Cause & Effect relationship.

Pick a specific cause and effect. You will write about the causes of something or the effects of something or both.

Your three-paragraph essay should look like this:

Paragraph Two: Explain your main points and add facts to support them.
Paragraph Three: Summarize the information you gave above.
BE SURE EACH PARAGRAPH CONTAINS AT LEAST 4 SENTENCES.

Be sure your writing contains:

A thesis statement in which you clearly identify the cause-and-effect relationship you will explore (This should be the last sentence of your first paragraph.)
Well-chosen, relevant supporting evidence (This is from the source(s) you will cite at the end of your essay.)
