Cause & Effect

To write a cause and effect essay, you’ll need to determine a scenario in which one action or event caused certain effects to occur. Then, explain what took place and why! This essay allows us to identify patterns and explain why things turned out the way that they did.

How do I choose a topic and get started? Try choosing a major event, either in your own life or an event of historical significance.

For example, The Great Depression.

Cause of The Great Depression: stock market crash

How would we elaborate? We’d discuss the behaviors, carelessness, errors, and even cultural attitudes that led to the crash—explaining why it was devastating.

Effects of the Great Depression: joblessness & poverty

What should we say about the effects?

Businesses went under—explain HOW the crash caused this

Describe poverty in detail—explain how this could’ve been handled more efficiently or even avoided
