What happened is the effect and why it happened gives the cause. Did you like the story? Why didnt Bobby join the spectators at the scene? What was the crime all about? Why was the victim stabbed? Can you give other examples where there is a cause and effect in the story? Evaluation Teacher: I have here pictures, I will show them one by one and I want you to tell the causes of the situations in the picture.
