Paragraphs Showing:
Cause and Effect,

Contrast and Problem

Relationships
A paragraph is a brief
piece of writing that has
a topic sentence and
supporting sentences
that are closely related
to the topic sentence.
To begin with, let us see
how cause and effect
paragraph is written. When
writing a cause-effect
paragraph, you may first list
your ideas in a graphic
organizer like the one below.
To indicate causes and effects, the
following transitional or signal
words/phrases may be used.
Here is a sample of cause
and effect paragraph:
Air pollution may be due to a lot of factors, the
most commons of which are caused by exhaust
gases from vehicles, factory gas emissions, and
natural events. Exhaust gases from vehicle have
continuously dominated the air, especially in
highly urbanized towns and cities, mainly because
the government lacks control and citizens prefer
convenience to the harmful effects. Likewise, the
government has not exercised good control over
the location of factories that emit gas elsewhere.
Most often than not, air pollution is caused by
natural events such as forest fires, volcanic
eruptions, wind erosion and pollen dispersal.
What is the paragraph
about?
What does the key
sentence introduce?
How many causes of air
pollution are stated?
This paragraph shows cause
and effect, explaining
reasons and results of
events, situations, or trends.
It particularly uses the
pattern one effect → multiple
causes.

day 2
Before we proceed to our
new lesson, fill in the chart
below with the appropriate
cause or effect. Pick the
answer from the selection
given.
I saw something run by my
feet.
My dad was awoken from
his nap.
He took off under the couch and
into the kitchen.
She had seen my pet. / My mom
had seen my pet.
He was back in his home.
Do you believe that circumstances
happen for a reason?
Why do you think people need to stay at
home during a pandemic?
Why do you think people get sick?
Why do you think children still need to
study during quarantine?
All the answers to these
questions are called reason
or cause.
Cause is something that
produces an event or
condition.
What are the clue words for cause?
These words indicate
cause/reason:
because of, as, owing to, for, since,
due to, in that, cause, for the reason
that, so that, unless, the main
reason…
The result of the cause is called effect.
Effect is the result from an event or
condition.
The effect answers the questions:
What happened? What was the
result?
These words indicate effect:
so, for this reason, as a result, if,
consequently, effect, otherwise,
therefore, and thus…
Today, let us learn how to write a
paragraph using cause and effect
relationship.
A cause and effect paragraph is a
method in which the writer analyzes
the reason for – and or the
consequences of an action, event or
decision.
Before you write a cause and effect
paragraph, you must remember the
following:
1. Reasons for writing a cause and
effect paragraph:
- to solve a problem
- to predict an outcome
- to understand a situation
- to entertain or
- to persuade
2. Organize the ideas in your
paragraph through brainstorming, a
series of causes and effects for the
topic you are writing about and
noting them in an easy to
understand way.
Follow this format when writing about causes:
Topic sentence – statement of the effect and
overview of the causes
 Supporting sentence – causes arranged in
chronological or logical order. (Cause 1, Cause
2, Cause 3)
 Conclusion – restatement of effect,
summary of causes – call for action.
3. Decide on the focus of your
paragraph to achieve unity in your
work. Is the focus about the cause or
effect? Then creating a topic sentence
that focuses on the central event,
feeling or actions will be easier.
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 causes or effects.
The selection below is an example of
a cause and effect paragraph:
1. What caused so many people to die from the
bubonic plague?
A. Lack of sanitation and poor medical knowledge
account for the continuous plague epidemics.
B. The dead were buried without the usual prayers.
C. Italy was constantly at war.
D. The victims got large bruises or sores on the
face.

poor medical knowledge account
for the
continuous plague epidemics. (The
phrase account for was your clue)

people except ________________.
A. People get high fever, swollen glands, dark
bruises or sores on the face.
B. They experience spitting blood.
C. Within five days a victim can die.
D. Fleas from rats caused the spread of the
disease.
Answer: D. Fleas from rats
caused the spread of the
disease. (The word caused
was your clue)
