Multisensory+Lesson

**  by: Lisa Hardesty   ** Title of Lesson: Cause & Effect Grade Level: 7 Objective(s): Practice finding and labeling cause and effect in reading materials. Time: 1 class period || Students will break into small groups where they will complete a sentence matching activity. Each group will receive an envelope containing several sentences. The group will lay out all of the sentences and move the sentences around to find cause sentences and effect sentences that go together. When finished, they will raise their hands for the teacher to check their matching. || I will then read a portion of // The Day Jimmy’s Boa Ate the Wash //, having students raise their hand each time the can give an example of cause and effect in the story. || Students will be given an article to read and a handout of a T-Chart. After reading the article, students will record Causes and Effects on the T-chart. || For those students needed special assistance, accommodations will be made to help them succeed and understand the lesson. When working in groups, I will be sure to have those students who struggle mixed with those that are more advanced. That way they can have help from someone who understands and feel successful themselves. I will also spend more time with those students working in a small group during the assignment of reading the article and completing the T-chart.

 * **  KTAV   **  ||  **   Activity Description   **  ||
 * **  Kinesthetic   ** ||  Beginning class we would do a little activity to get the students ready. All students will stand behind their seat and run in place for 1 minute. After that minute I will ask, “What was the result of you running?” Answer: I am breathing faster, heart is racing, etc.
 * **  Tactual   ** ||  Have students record example sentences of Cause and Effect that were given in class and practice labeling those sentences as a class.
 * **  Auditory   ** ||  I will offer an example of a cause: “My alarm went off.” Then ask students what is the effect or outcome of that: “I woke up, I hit the snooze button, etc.” I will then ask students to give me examples of cause and effect, breaking each one apart to make sure everyone understands which is the cause and which is the effect.
 * **  Visual   ** ||  As students shared examples of Cause and Effect (above) they were recorded on a T-chart on the board. The causes were recorded in the left column, effects in the right.
