    Writing a Cause/Effect Essay
    The cause/effect essay tries to discover the connections between events, in terms of causes, results, or consequences. You may think about a causal relationship by considering some familiar word combinations: If . . . then; Because of . . . the result was, or the problem . . . could be solved by. However, you must not confuse coincidence or chronological sequence with evidence; this is called post hoc fallacy (believing that the action/event that follows is automatically caused by the first action/event). Also, you must look for causes or effects that go beyond the obvious; be careful not to oversimplify.

    The goal of the development of literacy is for students to read to learn. Reading comprehension depends on language abilities, which have been developing since birth. The understanding of vocabulary and their relationship to the sentence within the text. This all relates back to prior knowledge and the experiences the students have. “Through its research the NEL discovered that the more complex aspects of oral language, including syntax, grammar, complex measures of vocabulary and listening, are clearly related to reading comprehension.” (Shanahan & Lonigan, Pa. 5, 2017) Ultimately, readers need to translate print into language and then interpret the meaning of the language.

    It is always a good idea to know the background of a student and their families. But we must also remember that just because a family is a certain way does not always mean that the student will be like that or vice versa. Sometimes you will have parents that think that there is nothing wrong with their child or that they can do no wrong. We must also remember that just because a student may have a disability does not mean that they can not be taught. These will be your kids that will learn the most, but in different ways than others. Also, remember that if a child is non-verbal does not mean that they can not communicate with you. There are many different ways for them and you and also their families to learn how to communicate with each other. This is a good way to get to learn all of your kids and parents on a more personal level and be able to help each other when needed.comment as you see fit. Min 40 words or more
