Never could he have imagined her cheating on him and leaving him for his business partner, Davis. That left Jacob going through life without much emotion, just a robot amongst his fellow human beings; he was still functional, though. Then, one day he received a call from his sister telling him his mother and father were both in a horrible car accident. When he hung up the receiver, he fell to the floor and held his head in his hands in disbelief and despair. Jacob never got up from that spot and died tragically in the threshold of his bedroom with his cell phone clutched in his left hand.AcquisitionCause and EffectHaines City High SchoolCreator: Charles Wynne

CauseEffect19King of Pops Mother to Blame?Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson is now blaming his wife (and Michael's mother) Katherine for their son's death last June 25. Mr. Jackson is claiming that his wife's inaction caused the King of Pop's premature expiration. In a video interview with England's News of the World paper, the 80-year-old patriarch says he begged his wife to get their son Michael into rehab for his alleged addiction to prescription pills. Katherine Jackson was named the legal guardian of Michael's three children by Michael himself.

Mr. Jackson says when they saw their son lying on a mortuary table, he blew up, saying, "If you had listened to me, Michael would be living now!" Jackson says that he "kept thinking about the times I had stood in front of her saying something was wrong. Katherine didnt say a word. I had to get away from her. If shed done what I asked, Michael would be here today. I am incensed with her. She could have made a difference."

Answer the following questions in a complete sentence.What is Joe Jackson claiming is the cause of his sons death?Why do you think Joe Jackson believes this?Possible ResponsesJoe Jackson is claiming that his wifes lack of interference into Michaels drug habit caused his death.

Joe Jackson probably is only saying this because he is very emotional and probably does not really mean it.Math Anxiety read the articleMathematics anxiety has been defined as feelings of tension and anxiety that interfere with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems in a wide variety of ordinary life and academic situations Math anxiety can cause one to forget and lose ones self-confidence (Tobias, S., 1993). Research confirms that pressure of timed tests and risk of public embarrassment have long been recognized as sources of unproductive tension among many students. Three practices that are a regular part of the traditional mathematics classroom and cause great anxiety in many students are imposed authority, public exposure and time deadlines. Although these are a regular part of the traditional mathematics classroom cause great deal of anxiety. Therefore, teaching methods must be re-examined. Consequently, there should be more emphasis on teaching methods which include less lecture, more student directed classes and more discussion.23AssignmentUse the graphic organizer on the next slide to find the causes for math anxiety.

First of all, a third of the population of Europe was wiped out, which cause the death of many debtors, leaving creditors without any way to collect their money. Consequently, the plague was a great leveler of society because it hit the rich and poor alike and left many who had been wealthy without many of their riches; the poor simply remained poor or became even poorer due to the plague. 28Social Studies signal wordsThe bubonic plague brought many problems to Western civilization, especially those in the larger cities.

34ScienceOver two-thirds of people in the United States are overweight and/or obese. What is especially concerning is the growing number of children and adolescents who are becoming obese younger and younger. Childhood obesity can lead to an adulthood filled with major health problems. Type 2 diabetes, the most common form in the United States, is becoming a major health concern for todays children. Additionally, children who are obese are more at risk for stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol at a younger age than previous generations. 35Research!The article given to you gave you several of the effects of childhood obesity, NOW: it is your turn to find out the CAUSES of childhood obesity!Use the internet, books, or magazines to find this information.

Definition:

Cause and Effect is a progression of ideas an author uses to organize text in order for the reader to synthesize important information. The first event is the cause, or the reason something happens, and the second event is the effect, or the result of the cause.

1

Use the cause-effect relationships to arrange ideas in a logical order that helps synthesize important information.

Read the passage first.

Ask yourself which situation happened first and which situation happened as a result of the first situation.

Recognize why the author has used cause-effect to organize a particular text, understand how this pattern affects the meaning, and determine exactly what it is the author wants the reader to comprehend.

Here are some question stems for teaching Cause and Effect..

1. What is the result of __________?

Moderate Level2. What causes __________ to __________?

3. Why does __________ happen?
