REMINDER: Due Wednesday, September 21 at 11:59pm: Do another edit of your ENTIRE Diagnostic Essay. Please title it netid_diagnosticFULL-edit.docx and upload it to the Unit 1 folder. There should be no comments or markup visible. I just want the essay. See the Formatting Example for how your essay should look.
Effect Chains
Effect Chains
Watch the excerpt from the music video. On a sheet of paper or in MS Word, write down at least two chain reactions that consist of at least three causal “links.” For example in the beginning, the dominoes knock down; the last one is attached to a string that releases a car; finally, the car hits a ball.
Next, come up with an effect chain that begins with “not getting enough sleep.”
Organizing Multiple Effects Types
One common form of cause-effect essays is ones that discuss the types of effects an event or condition can result in or has resulted in. Again, practice using these charts to organize your thoughts
From Ideas to Writing
Here is a sheet of transition words that you can use to show causal relationships, and here a sheet of verbs. Organize the verbs into the two collumns.
Next let’s brainstorm a couple topics. What are some of the conditions that might cause a student to plagiarize? What are some of the effects of studying in a foreign country? Pick one of the topics and write a paragraph (7-10 sentences) talking about one or two or the causes and effects.
Homework, Due Wednesday September 21 (before class): What are some of the conditions that might cause a student to plagiarize? Write a paragraph (7-10 sentences) talking about the causes of plagiarism.
