Discussion Question # 13

We have been working on cause and effect in class. Your assignment for this week is to come up with three examples of cause and effect that you found in the book you are currently reading. I want you to find the cause and effect, then combine them to make one sentence using a signal word.

Effect: Luke is trapped behind the screen in the grand ballroom.. combined sentence. Luke trained his mice outside of the hotel room, CONSEQUENTLY he was trapped behind the screen in the grand ballroom.
