This resource uses text analysis questions to help learners deconstruct a cause and effect essay paragraph-by-paragraph. By answering questions about a sample essay’s context, use of language, and structure, students get to think critically about the choices the author made in the writing and learn the essay’s structure organically. It will teach them how to write an essay from the bottom-up.

They’ll get suggested paragraph lengths, structure, and language tips as they prepare and, eventually, write their own cause and effect essays. There are even different essay writing prompts they can choose from!
