Week 10 : Cause and Effect

Monday 27^th March 2017

The teacher taught a new lesson that was Cause and Effect to students. She explained about words that signal this type of text structure, read discourse markers of cause and effect and taught how to distinct cause from effect by finding out discourse markers.

After that, we read the texts about student are not allowed to chew gum in class. We completed the diagram, highlighted discourse markers, and underlined the causes.Then, we see a list of Cause and Effect markers in page 44. So, she assigned us to find the meaning and how to use them in the sentence. 

Next, we did Skill Practice 2 as we read the following texts, highlight the discourse markers and look for the specific causes and effects. Then complete the cause and effect diagram.

In my opinion, The vocabularies in the text were easy. Causes and effects were hard. Some discourse marker, I confused what is cause or effect.  I translated it and guessed from the context. This lesson is important in reading.
