Centered around the book Pink and Say, by Patricia Polacco, the activity presented here should help your class tackle cause and effect. The teacher reads the first few pages aloud and models in a think-aloud style how to identify cause and effect. Pupils follow suit and practice as a class and then independently. Resources are provided, but require a free registration at to the hosting site.
