An effect is what happens. • Clue words: because, since • Although these words often signal a cause and effect relationship, sometimes there are no clue words • Sometimes the author does not tell a cause and you need to figure out why something happened • A cause may have more than one effect, and an effect may have more than one cause • Let’s read Baseball and Brothers on page 86
