Please work on identifying and explaining cause & effect, which will be a skill on your upcoming quiz.
Identify three events of your choice (they must connect!) and explain the connection between the THREE events.

For example----
Events: Lost phone, drove to La Crosse, trouble with Mom

Explain: I lost my phone in the parking lot at work, so I couldn't text my teammates about riding together to our basketball game in La Crosse. I drove by myself, which was boring and it cost me more in gas money. After our game, we went to get ice cream at Rudy's. I didn't know my mom was trying to call me because my phone was lost. I didn't think to use my teammate's phone to communicate with her. I just wanted to enjoy playing ball and ice cream! When I got home that night, my mom was unhappy that I didn't let her know my phone was lost because she tried to call me and got worried. Guess my mom loves me!
