Cause and Effect Organization Essay #2 “Addictions”
Using Cause & Effect to Explain • Essay #2 is an explanation • Explanation can be organized as cause & effect • Let’s look at cause & effect organization!
2 Common Patterns: Block Chain
Block • Introduction + Thesis in paragraph 1 • Body: Definition of addiction. Then, all causes are discussed as blocks in 1, 2, 3 or more paragraphs • Transition paragraph (may be 1 -2 sentences long). • Effects discussed as blocks in 1, 2, 3, or more paragraphs
When to Use Block • Use when there are no direct cause & effect relationships • Use with larger topics
For Example, a paper on smoking…. . The causes for someone to start smoking are varied. They may include: • Peer pressure (smoking to fit in) • Imitating Parent(s) smoking • Imitating Movie stars smoking
However…. . The effects of smoking are not closely related to the causes… • “hairy tongue” • Bad breath • Stained teeth Cancer
Block Essay Structure Introduction + Thesis Definition +Cause BODY Transition Effect Conclusion (may include solutions) Hint: Cause paragraphs and effect paragraphs don’t have to be equal!
Chain • Introduction + Thesis in paragraph 1 • Definition + Cause and its effect, cause and its effect in 1, 2, 3 or more paragraphs. • Paragraphs are linked together as a chain.
When to Use Chain • Use if causes & effects are closely related • Use if the topic is small.
For example, in a paper on shopping addiction, the causes are closely related to the effects… Causes • Feelings of “emptiness” • Low self esteem • Buying unnecessary items Effects • Shop to “fill the emptiness” • Shop/buy things to impress others • “Max-ing out” credit cards, debt
Chain: cause/effect
Think about your topic and decide which method fits it best, block or chain.
What about the What, Why, How? • What = definition • Why = causes • How = solutions offered in the conclusion (or as part of the effects)
