The document discusses different types of paragraph development, focusing on cause and effect development. It explains that cause-effect paragraphs support a topic sentence by listing either effects (results of a situation) or causes (reasons for something). The document provides an example of a topic sentence and prompts the reader to analyze the paragraph structure by identifying enumerative signals, order, and supportive material.

Supporting Topic Sentences FOCUS ON EFFECT Eli辿cer D鱈az TESOL Professor, Universidad de Cordoba
Cause and Effect In previous classes, you learned how to divide a topic into its various types, characteristics, elements, parts, etc. Now we will concentrate on a type of paragraph development which is frequently very similar to enumeration: cause and effect . In other words, when you use a cause-effect method of development, this will often mean that you are supporting your topic sentence by listing or enumerating.
Cause and Effect What you should remember, however, is that in a cause-effect development, there is always a causal relationship between the topic sentence and the supporting sentences, or even between major supporting sentences and minor ones. This means that your supporting sentences become a list of either effects (what a certain situation has lead to or has resulted in), or causes (reasons or explanations why something is the way it is, or why it happened the way it did):
