Cause and Effect Essay
Write a 500-750 word essay using cause and effect as a method of development.
Use your own thoughts, observations, and/or experiences as the sources for this essay. Research is NOT required or expected for this essay.
Writing Approach
Determine exactly what point you are going to make and write it down in precise terms. Remember, you are going to be writing about the causes that lead up to a specific event or situation. Think about why you want to make this point. Develop a thesis statement. Then choose examples and details that count for something, those that move the reader toward some goal. Your details about the events that take place should ultimately lead up to the effect or the end result.
