Exploring Text Structure and Relationships of Ideas - Part 5

In the essay you wrote during this lesson, you tied evidence to answer this question: Were these explorers mainly looking for personal gain or trying to advance people’s knowledge of the world?
For this assessment, you are going to narrow your focus. You will write two or three paragraphs answering this question: Did the search for wealth lead to the exploration of the Americas?
To answer this question, you will have to revisit the expeditions of Cortés, Pizarro, and Orellana. However, you will need to look at the information in these sections of the text in a new way. You will need to connect a specific cause (the search of wealth) with a specific effect (the exploration of the Americas).
To make the link from that cause to that effect, you will have to build a bridge of evidence. Use details and additional evidence from pp. 12–19 in the text to create a new Cause-and-Effect Chart. Give the chart the title Causes and Effects of Exploration of the Americas. As before, put causes in the boxes on the left. On the right, write the effect—the exploration of the Americas. Use your graphic organizer as a guide to write your paragraphs.
Plan this opinion piece like you did on the earlier one. Use the Writing Planner worksheet to plan. Be sure to include:
A strong introduction that presents your opinion on the issue,
Strong, well-organized reasons and plenty of good evidence to support them,
Transitions linking evidence,
A conclusion that effectively summarizes the information you have explained,
If you help thanks so much need it badly.

Which of the following three sentences contains an adverb?

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) Read Part Two of Article A on sea otters.

Sea otters are one of few tool-using mammals. They enjoy a diet of seafood, including sea urchins, mussels, clams, sea snails, and crabs. Sea otters will use rocks to break open their food. The rock acts as an anvil to crack open the shell. After diving down to find their food, sea otters hold the shells against their stomachs as they break them open. Sea otters have pouches of loose skin under each of their forelegs. This is where they keep their rock tool while not feeding. Sea otters are quite smart and will use other objects to help them open the shells of their prey. These include parts of the shell itself, driftwood, man-made objects, or even another shellfish. The use of seaweed as an anchor is another example of the sea otter using tools in its daily life.

Sea otters are well suited to live in the cold waters of the ocean. Both their ears and nostrils can close while diving. A sea otter's claws and teeth are also perfectly suited to their diet. Additionally, these furry creatures have a loose skeleton, which allows them to be very flexible when swimming and grooming. Their lungs are two-and-a-half times bigger than a similarly sized land mammal, which gives them the buoyancy needed to float on their backs.

Sea otters display many unique physical features and behaviors that make them extremely interesting animals. They play and interact with one another, showing a high level of intelligence. Both scientists and wildlife enthusiasts enjoy observing them. Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to spot some of these fun, furry creatures along the shores of the Northern Pacific or, at the very least, at your local zoo.

How does the author's point of view that sea otters are smart affect the type of details included in the article?

The author describes the different tools sea otters find and use to survive.
The author explains that most sea otters have an enormous lung capacity.
The author explains the reason sea otters float on their backs most of the day.
The author includes facts about the number of sea otters that perform at zoos.

#2 AUTOBIOGRAPHY: From the Academy of Achievement autobiographical interview:
We had to stay in the house and read these books and our friends were outside and they were playing and they knew we couldn't come out. It seems like they would be making just that much more noise to torment us. But, I hated it for the first several weeks, but then all of a sudden, I started to enjoy it because we had no money, but between the covers of those books, I could go anyplace, I could be anybody, I could do anything. And, I began to learn how to use my imagination more because it doesn't really require a lot of imagination to watch television, but it does to read. You've got to take those letters and make them into words, and those words into sentences, and those sentences into concepts, and the more you do that, the more vivid your imagination becomes. And, I believe that's probably one of the reasons that you see that creative people tend to be readers, because they're exercising their mind.
I was reading about people in laboratories, pouring chemicals from a beaker into a flask and watching the steam rise, and completing electrical circuits, and discovering galaxies, and looking at microcosms in the microscope, and I just acquired so much knowledge, and I had put myself into those settings and I saw myself differently than everybody else in my environment who just wanted to get out of school so they could get some cool clothes and a cool car. And, I was looking down the pike and seeing myself as a scientist or a physician or something of that nature, and that was one of the things that sort of carried me through much of the ridicule and some of the hardships that a person would have to go through coming from my environment and going to medical school.
The thing that I am probably the most proud of is not all the medical accomplishments or honorary degrees or various boards and societies. I'm most proud of the 100,000-plus letters that I have from young people, throughout America and around the world, whose lives have been changed by reading one of my books, or seeing me on television, or an interview in a magazine, and recognizing that they have the ability to define their own lives. If that's the legacy that I leave, I'll be very happy.
I was talking to a friend of mine, who was a cardiothoracic surgeon, who was the chief of the division, and I said, "You guys operate on the heart in babies, how do you keep them from exsanguinating" and he says, "Well, we put them in hypothermic arrest." I said, "Is there any reason that—if we were doing a set of Siamese twins that were joined at the head—that we couldn't put them into hypothermic arrest, at the appropriate time, when we're likely to lose a lot of blood?" and he said, "No." I said, "Wow, this is great." Then I said, "Why am I putting my time into this? I'm not going to see any Siamese twins." So I kind of forgot about it, and lo and behold, two months later, along came these doctors from Germany, presenting this case of Siamese twins. And, I was asked for my opinion, and I then began to explain the techniques that should be used, and how we would incorporate hypothermic arrest, and everybody said "Wow! That sounds like it might work." And, my colleagues and I, a few of us went over to Germany. We looked at the twins. We actually put in scalp expanders, and five months later we brought them over and did the operation, and lo and behold, it worked.

First Steps

THE LANDING

As the lander hit, Maria drew a jagged breath, and her chest muscles clenched tight with anxiety. Captain Curran, the group leader, turned around and smiled at Maria and her five friends.

“All right,” he said with forced joviality. “Who wants to be the first of the generations born in space to set foot on a real planet?”

Maria waited for someone else to speak or raise their hand. Next to her, Allen just stared at the floor of the lander muttering, “Not me, not me.”

She glanced at Lily, who Maria had always known to be fearless, but Lily bit her lip and turned away. Javier looked positively gray, and the twins buried their faces in their hands. Someone would have to be first. Maria closed her eyes and took a few meditative breaths, waiting for someone else to volunteer, but the lander was silent.

FINDING COURAGE

The radio crackled to life. “Lander one, this is Mothership, do you copy?”

“Yes,” Captain Curran answered. “We’ve landed safely and are waiting to exit the lander, but there’s just a little…disagreement…over which pioneer wants to be the first to set foot on our new home.”

“Tell them there’s plenty for everyone to see, and they’re going to love it out there,” the voice on the radio responded. “I wish it were me instead of you; I miss the feel of real air on my face.”

Captain Curran flipped off the microphone. “You six have lived your entire lives in space, and it’s a great privilege to be the first of your generation to see a new planet. The others are watching; if you’re afraid, they’ll be afraid. Can’t any of you find the courage to set an example?”

Maria shifted uncomfortably in her seat and thought of her parents; they had traveled across the galaxy to find their family a new home, with clean air and good soil, and she knew this planet was for them. “I’ll do it, Captain,” she mumbled as she slipped out of her harness and rose out of her seat. Maria couldn’t shake the feeling of trepidation as she stood and watched the doors of the lander slide open.

A NEW WORLD

A burst of air hit Maria in the face. She scrunched up her nose as an unfamiliar assortment of odors hit her nostrils. Some smelled sweet, some disgusting, and some were just strange. There were never strange smells on the ship; everything was always the same there. What was it going to be like to live where things changed? The rest of the children gathered around the opening as she climbed down the ladder, and Maria tried to smile as she met their worried eyes. Then, suddenly, something crunched underneath her boots; she was standing on the surface of the planet, and it felt nothing like the smooth metallic halls that she’d known all her life.

Without letting go of the ladder, she turned around to look at the world around the lander. The soil was full of shapes and textures; there were some small, grainy pieces, then larger clumps that she could break with the toe of her boot. One piece was hard and smooth, and she let go of the ladder to pick it up. “Captain,” she called, “I think I’ve found a rock!”

The air was moving, and long, thin, green things bowed and danced. “Grasses,” Maria whispered to herself, remembering the videos in her science lessons. She let go of the ladder and took soft, slow steps and realized her arms and legs felt like they were full of lead. “Natural gravity,” she whispered to herself. She started to walk a little more quickly, getting used to the new sensation. She was doing what others had previously thought impossible—taking steps on a new world.

A creature with gossamer wings landed on her nose, and she crossed her eyes trying to get a good look at it. Something small and furry scurried across her feet as she spun in a slow circle. Inspired, she ran as fast as she could across the foreign soil; she’d never seen somewhere so big, and it was thrilling. Suddenly, a deep, low sound echoed around her.

“That’s the call of a hornbeast,” Captain Curran shouted from the bottom of the ladder. Maria glanced back and saw that he was helping her friends take tentative first steps in the new world. “Walk to your left a little, and there should be a stream—flowing water on the ground; they often go there to drink, the explorers say.”

She started to run in that direction and then paused. “Hurry up!” she yelled, unable to contain her enthusiasm. “Our new home is extraordinary!”

In the story “First Steps,” how does Maria's act of leaving the spaceship to explore the new planet affect the story?

It overwhelms her and she returns to the ship for safety.

She gains the respect of Captain Curran and the other children.

She encounters dangerous animals for the first time.

It gives her friends the confidence to join her.

The Tree House
The brothers mowed lawns throughout their neighborhood to earn money to help pay for supplies. Carter and Anton had convinced their father to help them build a tree house last year, but snow covered the ground before they were able to get started.
Through much anticipation, Carter and Anton had waited and prepared, and they were ecstatic that it was finally time to dive into their project. First, they had to go to the lumber yard with their father and purchase the wood. They spent an entire weekend measuring, cutting, and assembling the wood to create the floor, walls, and roof; it was very exciting to see the lumber transform into a small house.

Every evening, Carter, Anton, and their father would spend several hours nailing pieces of wood together until the tree house was finally complete. Then they went to the paint store, where Carter and Anton took nearly two hours to agree on the color lime green. Painting their tree house sounded more fun that it was; the sanding, priming, and rolling paint on each section of the house was both challenging and time consuming.

After more than a month of hard work and dedication, the tree house was finally complete.


Which sentence should be added to introduce the narrative?

A.

Carter and Anton were very happy with how their tree house turned out.

B.
