    A cause and effect essay analyzes the causes and effects of specific events, situations, or phenomena. The essay should begin with a thesis statement that clearly identifies whether the essay will discuss causes, effects, or both. Supporting details are then organized chronologically, by order of importance, or categorically to back up the thesis. Transitional words and phrases help smoothly blend the details and indicate whether a detail is discussing a cause or an effect.

    Cause and Effect Essays

    What is a cause and effect essay?


    Cause and effect essays are concerned with why things happen (causes) and what happens as a result (effects).

    Cause and effect is a common method of organizing and discussing ideas.

    Follow these steps when writing a cause and effect essay:


    1. Distinguish between cause and effect. To determine causes, ask, "Why did this happen?" To identify effects, ask, "What happened because of this?" The following is an example of one cause producing one effect: Cause You are out of gas. Effect Your car won't start.

    However, most situations are more complicated. The following is an example of a chain reaction:

    2. Develop your thesis statement. State clearly whether you are discussing causes, effects, or both. Introduce your main idea, using the terms "cause" and/or "effect."

    3. Find and organize supporting details.


    Back up your thesis with relevant and sufficient details that are organized. You can organize details in the following ways:

    Chronological. Details are arranged in the order in which the events occurred. Order of importance. Details are arranged from least to most important or vice versa. Categorical. Details are arranged by dividing the topic into parts or categories.

    4. Use appropriate transitions.


    To blend details smoothly in cause and effect essays, use the transitional words and phrases listed below.

    For causes because, due to, on cause is, another is, since, for, first, second For Effects consequently, as a result, thus, resulted in, one result is, another is, therefore
