This is just what I wanted–a PowerPoint for my students and a sheet for them to answer on to keep them accountable. I have many products from Rachel Lynnette, and they are always good!

My students enjoyed using this resource. We used it in learning stations and as a fun Friday activity.
Amanda Crawford –
For some reason, every year this skill is difficult for my entire class to master. They understand the vocabulary but identifying each part proves itself to be hard. Can’t wait to try these out. Hopefully these tasks cards are the missing ingredient to my learning recipe.
Alexandra Cooper –
I used this resource with the students in my self-contained English class. I appreciate the audio supports for my students to use and the number of passages available to practice cause and effect relationships.
Marilyn C. –
Fun task cards for students to use on their own or with a partner!
