Do you mean "chain" rather than "chair"?

The only thing I can tell u is the way it reads in my son's agenda
book. It could be chain, my son says its chair, the assignment reads
as follows, Create a cause and effect chair (chain) using at least
five sentences. Since they were discussing the Byzantine Empire, I can
only assume it's dealing with that. Have u ever tried getting accurate
information from a sixth grader? Like pulling teeth without anesthisa

Hello Indiana,

We need to first look at what a "cause and effect chain" is. I will
point to an example context on the internet so we can have a more
clear understanding of what it is:

Excerpt from Pacific Bell
"Studying something that happens, to learn what chain of events or
converging influences brought it about..."
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/BHM/little_rock/cause_bg.html

Used in this context, we get a better grasp of what it really means.
What you need is layout of events that happened during the Byzantine
Empire. Then you would walk each event up, sequentially to the next,
explaining something that happened (cause) and the resulting impact of
the cause(effect), with regards to the Byzantine Empire.

This page I listed above tells you what a cause and effect is, and
here is a tool to plug in some examples in real time :

Cause and Effect Tool
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/BHM/little_rock/cause.html


To make this even easier, I went ahead and did an example using the
Byzantine Empire. (I can't do it all, now that I know it's homework,
as it's against our terms of service)

Byzantine Empire Cause and Effect sample
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Greeks were the leading race in the empire (cause), and (effect)this
led to the cessation of Latin as the official language of the
Government..."

I used the Catholic Encyclopedia for my example
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03096a.htm

Of course you'll have to come up with your own, but now you can see
how relatively simple it can be. I hope this helps.

To assist with this answer I searched Google for:

"cause and effect chain"

"byzantine empire"

Thanks for the question!

I love it when that happens :-)  Your clarification posted while I was
getting you an answer, so I was unable to see the clarification until
after I had posted the answer.

It seems the answer is still applicable and accurate. Should you need
further answer clarification, please ask before rating this answer, as
I would love to help out as much as I can.

Thanks again!
