Cause and Effect Graphic Organizer

Cause and Effects helps learners map multiple outcomes back to a shared source. The central cause box anchors the organizer, while six labeled effect areas radiate around it. Students can use the structure after a text, science event, historical topic, or classroom discussion to separate what happened from why it happened. The repeated effect spaces are especially useful when one action has several consequences, and the layout makes those parallel relationships visible at a glance.
