Exit Slip

• Carla was a diffident young woman, and this
  characteristic often held her back. She
  hesitated to express her ideas at work, although
  her ideas were as good as, if not superior to,
  those of her coworkers. When her friends
  discussed what movie they might see that night or
  what restaurant they would eat at, Carla always
  went along with the crowd. The result was that
  her own favorites were overlooked, and she sat
  through a few films in which she had little
  interest and ate some meals that she actually
  disliked. She even found it hard to end a phone
  conversation when she needed the time for another
  activity, or to refuse a friend a favor, however
  inconvenient it might be.

1. List a cause/effect key word from this passage
2. Justify how this word creates a cause/effect
   organizational pattern.
3. Create another appropriate cause/effect statement
   appropriate for Carla.
