Signal words for cause and effect texts include because, since, as a result, if/then, therefore, due to, and for.  \nCircle the text's signal words and underline the causes and effects.  \nWetlands are areas of land that are covered with shallow water for part or all of the year. Wetlands include marshes, swamps and bogs. Every wetland helps protect the community around it from flooding. When heavy rain falls, wetlands act like giant sponges that soak up large amounts of water! Instead of rainwater rushing into roads and rivers, wetlands slowly absorb the water into the ground.  \nSince wetlands hold water in their soil, they reduce how quickly water flows into nearby areas. As a result, rivers are less likely to overflow during storms. The thick plants that can be found in wetlands also slow down moving water, which helps prevent soil from washing away. This helps protect the land and also reduces damage to homes and roads in the area.  \nUnfortunately, many wetlands have been drained or filled in to make space for houses, buildings, farms and roads. When wetlands are removed, rainwater doesn’t have anywhere to collect. This means that more rain will flow into rivers, which increases the chance of flooding.  \nFlooding can be dangerous and cause serious problems for people and the environment. Flooding can damage homes, wash away roads and destroy crops. It may also cause dirty water to flow into rivers and lakes, which can make the water unsafe for animals and people to use.  \nAlthough some people may view wetlands as muddy, dirty or even useless, wetlands help the environment. Since they naturally store water and slow its movement, they can keep communities safer during storms. By protecting the world’s wetlands today, we are helping prevent damage in the future.  \nWhat are six examples of cause and effect in this passage? You may put them in your own words.  \n1.  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n2.  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n3.  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n4.  \n5.  \n6.  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nAnswers  \nAccept any cause/effect relationship from the text. Answers may include:  \n1.  Because wetlands can soak up large amounts of water, they help reduce flooding.  \n2. Since wetlands hold water in their soil, rivers are less likely to overflow during storms.  \n3.  Because wetland plants slow down moving water, they help prevent soil from washing away.  \n4.  When wetlands are removed, rainwater has nowhere to collect.  \n5.  When flooding occurs, it can damage homes, wash away roads and destroy crops.  \n6. Since wetlands store water and slow its movement, they help keep communities safer during storms.","cbCaicaUsnqBUsuj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicaUsnqBUsuj","pdf",113800,"English","# Cause and Effect Text Structure\n## Signal Words and Task Directions\n## Wetlands Passage (Cause and Effect)\n## Question: Six Examples\n## Answers","[{\"question\":\"What text structure is this worksheet practicing?\",\"answer\":\"It practices the cause and effect text structure, which explains what happened and why it happened.\"},{\"question\":\"Which signal words help identify cause and effect?\",\"answer\":\"Signal words include because, since, as a result, if/then, therefore, due to, and for.\"},{\"question\":\"How do wetlands help reduce flooding?\",\"answer\":\"Wetlands act like sponges that soak up large amounts of water, slow the movement of water, and reduce how quickly water flows into nearby areas, making rivers less likely to overflow.\"}]","Grade 5 Reading Worksheet - Cause and Effect - Answers | PDF",1791792139]
