Cause and Effect


This Week's Story: Saving America's Wolves 

This week's Storyworks story is Saving America's Wolves. Besides learning about the history of wolves in America from the early 1800s to present day, we will also be studying cause and effect.

First: Sleeping With the Wolves: A Night at the Wolf Conservation Center Video

This video from the Scholastic News Kids Press Corps will take you on a trip to the Wolf Conservation Center, where you’ll learn how experts are protecting wolves—and what you can do to help.

Second: Padlet

Use the corresponding link below to get to a Padlet page. On this page you will post one question you could ask others about the movie. The question needs to be one that doesn't have one specific answer, instead one that there could be many correct answers. What is a conservation center? How do you feel about wolves being in a conservation center? 


Third: Anchor Chart

In the mini-lesson tab in your Reader's Notebook, make sure this chart is copied down.



Fourth: Cause and Effect Worksheet

After rereading or listening to the story today, please complete the paper copy of the worksheet below.

Fifth: Google Forms Quiz

Sixth: Cause and Effect Story

This week we have been working on locating the cause and effects in Saving America's Wolves. Now you get to create your own cause and effect story as a class.  You each have a classroom number, that is the slide you will be working on. Your cause must relate to the classmates effect in front of you. All 28 slides will be combined to create a story. An example of the graphic organizer is below.
