Cause and Effect

Rarely does news happen spontaneously. Usually, there's a cause.. and an effect. Pick one story and explain why something happened or the effects of an event.

​

What's the Problem?

Some of the best stories involve ingenuity - especially among kids! Pick your favorite story that includes a problem and a solution.
