Frozen Lake Mystery

Students read a passage describing winter conditions in a small mountain town and complete the blanks with either because or because of. To choose correctly, they must determine whether each sentence requires a connector followed by a clause or a connector followed by a noun phrase. This activity strengthens understanding of cause-and-effect language within an extended text and deepens comprehension of how connectors impact sentence flow. Students also practice maintaining paragraph coherence and logical structure as they supply the proper words. The worksheet reinforces grammar accuracy while supporting reading fluency.
