CAUSE AND EFFECT ANALYSIS ESSAY
As you have learned from the Cause and Effect lesson this week, a cause and effect essay can do one of two things:
It can analyze the ways in which one or more effects result from a particular cause.
(Focus-on-Effects Method)
Ex. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic (cause), everyone has to wear masks (effect), restaurants have closed (effect) and hundreds of thousands of people have died (effect).
It can analyze the ways in which one or more causes lead to a particular effect.
(Focus-on-Causes Method)
Ex. Most scientists believe that climate change (effect) is due to burning fossil fuels (cause), cutting down trees in rainforests (cause) and farming livestock (cause).
Assignment:
Using one of the above methods of analysis, compose a 750-word Cause and Effect essay on ANY TOPIC OF YOUR CHOICE. Refer to pg. 135 of our lesson for ways you can organize your essay.
NOTE: Dont merely state the causes or the effects of your topic; give supporting details. For Example: Everyone has to wear masks is simply stating an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, to give more detail,
you can write: In order to slow the spread of COVID-19, the government has encouraged everyone to wear masks when outside of their homes.
You can also turn your effects into causes, which in turn create more effects. Because of COVID-19 (cause), hundreds of thousands of people have died (effect). In order to slow the spread and to mitigate the effects, the government has encouraged everyone to wear masks and has issued lock down orders (effects). Because of the lockdown orders (effect/cause), restaurants have closed (effect/cause), which has cost many people their jobs and businesses to shut down completely (effects).
Finally, in your conclusion, you should answer the question, So what? What is the significance of your topic? Why does it matter? Why did you spend time and effort writing about this topic? This could include a suggestion for change (Instead of closing restaurants, forcing them to shut their doors completely, the government should provide financial aid), an opinion (Given the poor way we have handled COVID in our society, we should find new solutions”), or a prediction (Since the vaccine continues to be distributed, society will be back to normal within a year).
