Visualize
Look at the following photograph of a burning house. Visualize
the flames inside, licking at furniture and consuming the
belongings of a family.
Plan
Write down four possible causes of the fire. Plan a paragraph
about one of those causes.
Next, think about the effects of the fire. How many different
people or groups might it affect? List them. Plan a paragraph
about the effects of the fire.
Draft
Now you are ready to write. Draft a paragraph on the causes or
effects of a house fire. If you wish, you may focus on just one
cause or just one effect in your paragraph.
