Let’s identify cause and effect relationships The helicopter flew through the snowy mountains, taking tourists on a sightseeing trip. As the helicopter flew past an especially tall mountain, the loud sound of the rotors triggered an avalanche. The pilot told the passengers to watch the amazing sight. The sliding snow gathered speed as it roared down the mountainside. It crushed an abandoned lookout station in its path. The passengers were worried until the pilot said, “Don’t worry. Nobody’s use that lookout stations for decades.” The passengers breathed sighs of relief.
So… The avalanche started when the helicopter flew past a tall mountain. The loud noise of the helicopter caused the avalanche. So that’s a cause-and-effect connection. The noise was the cause, and the avalanche the effect.
Think Pair Share What caused the destruction of the lookout station? The avalanche What happened because the pilot told the passengers that the station was unused? The passengers breathed sighs of relief You will identify cause and effect relationships this week!

So after reading… I think that I can make a cause and effect connection here. Maid Gwendolyn comes to see Sir Dragon. Why does she do this? She tells him that she does not want to marry Sir Grimbald. She tells the dragon that she wants him to fight and defeat Sir Grimbald. So the cause is that Maid Gwendolyn wants Sir Dragon to defeat Sir Grimbald. The effect is that she goes to see Sir Dragon. I connected why a character did something with the thing she did.
