Aligned to English outcomes
EN3-3A uses an integrated range of skills, strategies and knowledge to read, view and comprehend a wide range of texts in different media and technologies
Activity
Read the text excerpt from "The Climate Change Book" to identify the main idea and supporting details within each paragraph.
Watch the screencast which shows you about 'Cause and Effect Language'. Then identify and highlight the cause and effect parts in paragraphs 2 and 3.
Lastly watch the 'Cause and Effect Chains' screencast and then construct a graphic organiser for paragraph 2 OR 3 which shows the chains of cause and effect.
