In my previous post which you can read here https://meowessay.com/blog/how-write-evaluation-essay/ I've been explaining how to write an evaluation essay. Now I want to talk about the most challenging type of an essay. A cause and effect essay requires you to examine a particular situation or event and determine a causal relationship. Start by choosing a certain topic. Then do your preliminary research and take notes so you can incorporate them into your essay. When you're done researching, create an outline based on your thesis statement and write an initial draft. Edit the draft carefully and ask someone else to review it.

Take note of the details of the assignment. Carefully write down any assignment requirements the teacher has provided. If you have an assignment sheet be sure to review it very carefully and write down any questions you have. At the very least, you should know the due date, the length of the assignment, the formatting requirements, and the opening message.

• If you write down the details yourself, be sure to keep this piece of paper in a safe location, as you will need to review it during the writing process.

Understand the purpose of the assignment. Cause and effect trials do not always cover both elements. Find out if the essay is required to focus on causes, effects, or a little of both. You will also need to determine if you are required to explore your assigned topic or to create one on your own.

• For example, you may be asked to write about the causes of the American Revolution, which means that you will have to talk about the tax protests and other contributing factors. Also, you may be asked to write about the effects of the American Revolution, which means that you will have to talk about nation building and other short-term and long-term effects. A combined cause and effect trial will include both angles.

Shorten (or broaden) the topic. If you need to choose your own topic, it's a good idea to start brainstorming. Write down all the issues that cross your mind. Pick the five topics that interest you the most. Consider how much information you can reasonably include taking into account the intended length of the document. Try to divide a potential topic into several parts and choose one.

• Consider writing about moments that you are familiar with, such as events that have impacted your life. For example, you can talk about a period of the war that you have lived through. You can also pick a controversial topic, like the proven effects of eating junk food frequently. Taking a historical angle to view events like the American Revolution is another possible method.
• Be flexible in adjusting the breadth or depth of the topic as you work through your essay. At any point in the process, you may need to add or remove particular discussions to meet the requirements. For example, if you write about George Washington's actions during the American Revolution, you may need to narrow your focus and discuss only one particular decision he made.

Read any assigned text. If your teacher assigned you articles or books for your essay, it's a good idea to start reading them as soon as you can. They will likely help you shorten or understand the topic that has been assigned to you. You can also use your text notes as evidence when you start writing your essay.

Do some background research. Check out sources (books, articles, etc.) that explore the topic from a variety of perspectives. Initially, build a wide web by reading everything you can. Shorten your search as you find useful information. Make sure to take careful notes as you research so that you can cite appropriately and avoid plagiarism.

• If you write about a recent topic, such as the effects of junk food production, you may be able to use first-hand information, also known as primary sources, in your work.

Ask the teacher questions. If you have questions at any stage of the process, you should write an email to the teacher (if possible) or speak with him after class. It is a good idea to write the questions in advance. You can also talk to students who have worked with this teacher before to see if they can help you understand the assignment well.

• A good question might be "Is there a minimum number of sources for this assignment?" Just make sure the question you ask is not answered on the assignment sheet.
