Fast Fashion: Causes and Effects
Cause & Effect
A ready-to-teach B1+ Academic English lesson on cause-and-effect language, built around fast fashion.
Students sort causes and effects, read a short academic text about fast fashion and textile waste, and find 8 cause-and-effect expressions. They learn which grammar follows each one: verbs (lead to, result in, result from, cause), prepositions (due to, because of, as a result of) and linkers (because, as a result, consequently). Then they race in teams, build cause-and-effect chains and write a short referenced paragraph.
