Passage

Thesis Statement:
Summer reading is a valuable way to increase classroom performance because it helps students retain important skills from year to year.

Source 1:
A study conducted by Northern State University shows that the retention of critical reading skills is up to 25 percent higher in students who participate in the school's summer reading program.

Source 2:
A poll conducted by the Easthampton School District revealed that students who read books over the summer felt "better mentally prepared" for the upcoming school year than those who did not read.

Source 3:
Education expert Janna Knopp pointed out that "the brain isn't technically a muscle, but it might as well be. We need to exercise it, or it gets weak. It's no surprise that students who take up summer reading are in better shape when school starts up."

Answers

Answer:

D. Is it fair that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs?

Explanation:

I used the process of elimination.

Answer A. isn't specifically about food, whereas this cartoon seems to make a great display of it.

B. and C. don't make sense.

D. makes sense because we can see that the people below are hungry and want the food too, so they are holding their plates up waiting for the crumbs to fall down. The food is turkey, which is expensive-and a whole turkey too! The person eating it is well dressed and the people below are not dressed as nicely. Therefore, I believe this cartoon is trying to make the viewers think about whether it is fair or not that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs.

what happens to ha's school in inside out and back again?

Answers

Answer:

Hà is our main girl in Inside Out and Back Again, the poet whose words we read as she goes from enjoying her free time in Saigon to—after much trial and tribulation—finally starting to settle into life in the United States, all thanks to the Vietnam War. She might only be ten years old, but Hà sees a lot in the year this book covers, and it's safe to say that she's wise beyond her years.

Explanation:

Spice

For someone so nice, Hà has a feisty side to her. She likes to compete and feel smart, and when she doesn't, well, she's not exactly one to just sit back and let things slide. So when she is totally annoyed by her brothers, instead of kissing up or making nice in hopes of getting them to treat her better, she writes:

I can't make my brothers

Go live elsewhere,

but I can

hide their sandals.  

It's classic younger sibling behavior, right? We're guessing Hà's not familiar with the old phrase you kill more flies with honey. Considering that they each only have one pair of shoes and it's hot out, this sneaky little scheme becomes a real pain in the foot, so it's no wonder her brothers don't respond by showering her with kindnesses.

The thing about Hà, though, is that she doesn't just act out to get revenge on her pesky older brothers—she does it to feel a sense of power at school, too. For instance, when she is working away on a math problem in school one day, and the siren interrupts her by going off, she tells us:

I'm mad and pinch the girl

who shares my desk.

Tram is half my size,

so skinny and nervous.

Our mothers are friends.

She will tell on me.

She always tells on me.  

It seems like Hà pinches Tram because the siren interrupting her is the last straw in a long line of small moments in which Hà feels powerless, not because Hà is actually mean or anything, though Tram might not agree. So while Hà pesters her brothers in a pretty standard fashion, when she pinches Tram we are reminded that Hà has had more hardship and unfairness than most other children—so much, in fact, that a siren going off during a math problem is enough to make her boil over for a moment.

Sugar

Hà isn't always feisty, however, and she can also be sweet, kind, thoughtful, and observant. For instance, when Khoi's dead (and totally rotting) chick is found and taken from him, he is freaking out and totally depressed. His sister recognizes his pain (instead of, say, being grossed out that he's been hiding a dead chick), and does the following:

I hold his hand:Come with me.

He doesn't resist.

[…]

Inside lies my mouse-bitten doll,

her arms wrapped around

the limp fuzzy body of his chick.

I tie it all into a bundle.

Hà takes her doll—pretty much the only personal belonging she was able to take from Saigon when they left—and she wraps it around the dead chick, then throws the bundle into the ocean. That fact that Hà sacrifices her own comfort object to comfort her brother is a remarkably thoughtful and humble act, and one that shows maturity beyond her ten years. So while she might hide her brothers' shoes, she also really loves them, and is willing to do whatever she can to make sure they know it.

And Everything Nice

Though she has a hard time accepting the incredible changes her life goes through, by the end of the book, things are looking up for Hà. She and her family are in their own home, kids are being nicer to her at school, and she's regained a sense of hope for her future. So though Hà has seen more than her fair share of hardship during the past year, including moving halfway around the world and confirmation of the death of her father, her resilience is undeniable, which should only serve her well going forward.

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
(MC)

A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski

Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?

If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.

A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. Most of North America participates in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record-holders and its commitment to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.

Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.

This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to do something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.

You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.


Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.


Read this sentence from the article:

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record-holders and its commitment to get these numbers.

Answers

Answer: The possible answer could be "To create a sense of doubt in the reader"

Explanation: Since it shows how the author says, "You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record-holders and its commitment to get these numbers." basically showing that the reader/person is wrong about looking at birds is silly. And then shows a reason why it is not.

Refer to the article "Opinion: Bicultural Identity Is Something to Be Embraced."

Read the claim and the reason.

Claim: Young people may be more capable of embracing their bicultural identity and sharing it with the dominant culture.

Reason: Her daughter openly talks to her friends about Indian culture, sharing information about Indian dance and music.

How does this reason logically support the author's claim?


A: It shows how much sharing one's culture breaks down barriers to acceptance.

B: It shows how much work the author has done to teach her daughter to be proud of her heritage.

C: It shows that her daughter is confident in herself and comfortable with her Indian and American identities.

D: It describes how it can be challenging to fit into a dominant culture.

Answers

Answer:

hBy sharing her culture and information about dance and music with her friends, it shows she is proud of her heritage, but also it helps them understand the Indian culture which leads to them embracing their friendship with her even more. Also, sharing her culture shows she trusts them and knows they accept her and her culture.
