How do weather patterns affect our lives?
"Sometimes when there's a snowstorm, I get to stay home from school." True, but storms can also cause problems for people. Depending on where you live, you're likely to encounter different types of storms. If you live along a coastal area, you might experience hurricanes. Hurricanes are powerful rains that blow in from the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. If you live in an area that gets snow in the winter, you might experience blizzards. Blizzards are severe snowstorms that can make driving hazardous. And if you live in a broad open area you might experience tornadoes, unpredictable tunnels of winds. Regardless of the type of storm you are dealing with, you should do two things. First, listen to a meteorologist, so that you know what to expected. Second, take shelter. You don't want to be outside in these storms.

CAUSE and EFFECTThe cause is why something happens.
The effect is what happens. Identifying cause and effect relationships within a story can help readers to focus on two important elements of comprehension: what happens in the story and why it happened. Looking for cause and effect gives readers an opportunity to look carefully at the consequences of characters' actions and to think about how different actions might have different effects. Remember... a cause is an action or event the makes something else (the effect) happen. Clue words such as because, so, and since sometimes signal a cause-effect relationship. Sometimes you must figure out for yourself that one thing causes another.
