Well, done!
Yes! Our topic for today is another Pattern in Idea
Development, and you were all correct that Pattern is Cause
and Effect with the use of appropriate Grammatical signals.

I will introduce to all of you our Lesson Objectives for today.

B. Presentation
At the end of the lesson, the Grade 8 students should be able
to:
a. Understand the cause-and-effect pattern of idea
development
b. Use an appropriate grammatical signal suitable to
cause and effect pattern of idea development
c. Compose a paragraph that contains a cause and
effect pattern of idea development which uses an
appropriate grammatical signal.

C. Discussion

Cause- is defined as why something happened.

Effect- is defined as what happened.

I have here a graphic organizer that shows the relationship of

cause and effect pattern of idea development.
(Teacher will show the graphic organizer)
Anyone from all of you who is familiar with this graphic
organizer? Yes Ma’am! It is Fishbone diagram.
Very good, class!

A fishbone diagram is a cause-and-effect discovery tool that

helps figure out the reason(s) for defects, variations or failures
within a process. In other words, it helps break down, in
successive layers, root causes that potentially contribute to an
effect. Sometimes called an Ishikawa diagram or cause-and-
effect analysis, a fishbone diagram is one of the main tools
used in a root cause analysis (Trout, 2023).

Examples:
Due to heavy traffic, we are late.

What is the CAUSE statement in this sentence? The Cause is the heavy traffic.
Very good!

What is the EFFECT statement in this sentence? The Effect is, they were late in class.
Very good!

I have another example here…

Ana review all day as a result she got a perfect score in
exam.
What is the CAUSE statement in this sentence? The cause statement is Ana review all day
Very good! for their exam.

What is the EFFECT statement in this sentence? The Effect statement is, she got a perfect
Very good! score in their exam.

(The students will answer the provided sentences prepared by

their teacher and paste it on the fishbone graphic organizer if
it is suitable for cause or effect pattern of idea development.)

What have you observed in the sentence from the other There is grammatical signals to indicate
sentence? the cause and effect of the situation.
Very good observation class!

Grammatical signals or sometimes called “transitional

devices” improve your writing.
(Students is listening and actively

to show cause and effect.

How to Use Transition Words & Commas?

If the transition word comes at the beginning of the sentence,
we use a comma; otherwise, we do not.
(Teacher will provide a different example where we can
put/insert or shows the different placement of comma in the
sentences).

D. Finding Practical Applications of Concepts and Skills

in Daily Living

Directions: Students were group into 3. Watch and listen on

the video clip assigned for each group and kindly tell us the
possible cause and effect of this situation. Complete the given
statement and consider the proper use transitional devices or
grammatical signal.

(Video clips are placed in the tablet assigned for each group)

The video shows about _________________________

_____________________________________________.
Because ____________________________, therefore (Students will answer collaboratively and
_________________________. As a result, __________ present their work in class)

CAUSE AND EFFECT FILL IN THE BLANK RUBRIC

E. Making Generalizations and Abstractions about the

lesson
Questions:
It is defined as why something happened? --Cause
Is defined as what happened? --Effect
They add a variety and sophistication to your style of writing? --Grammatical signals
What is the commonly use transition words suitable to cause --Because, since, due to, because of, as,
pattern of idea development? for
How about for the effect pattern of idea development? --So, therefore, thus, so that, hence, as a
result
Okay, very good class, you really understand our lesson.
Give yourself an amazing clap! (clapping)
F. Value Integration
The causes that lead to the effect of the law of attraction. This
means, that if we are able to gather an understanding of these
laws, then that will essentially help us to better use the law of
attraction to attract what we want most in our lives.

Simply explains as, the Law of Cause and Effect:

Every effect has a specific and predictable cause.
And every cause or action has a specific and predictable
effect. (Students answer may vary)
So, we must be responsible with our action.
(This part presents in a form of FIND THE MISSING WORD
so students may involve or participate in completing the
thought.)
