Cause & Effect Review Activity | STAAR Review | Social Studies Process Skills

Cause & effect is one of the most important process skills in Social Studies! True comprehension requires that students see this kind of connection between the events. Yet, this can also be one of the most difficult concepts!

This activity is completed digitally via Google Slides. Students will drag and drop the boxes on each slide to match the correct event with a given cause or effect (see preview image). There are 6 unique slides set up in this download, with 4 pairs of events on each page.

This activity is currently set up to review important info from all eras of U.S. History to 1877 (8th Grade Texas TEKS). HOWEVER, the drag-and-drop boxes are all editable, in case you want to tweak the events that I have included. There is also a completely editable template included, in case you teach a different history subject such as U.S. since 1877, Texas History or World History. You can use the template to fill in important cause-and-effect events for your content too!

If using this activity for U.S. History to 1877, download my Free Timeline of Eras posters to go with it!

This resource can also be purchased as a part of my Process Skills Review Bundle.
