Cause and Effect Chain

Students read a short summary of The Gingerbread Man and complete a cause-and-effect chain by filling in missing causes or effects for each step in the chase sequence. They analyze how each event leads logically to the next, helping them track the progression of the story. The reflection prompt asks students why cause-and-effect helps readers follow the action, reinforcing structural understanding. This activity enhances comprehension of narrative flow and builds the ability to recognize relationships between events.
