How does the radio communication from the Mothership affect the story?

It foreshadows the frightening experience the children will have exploring the new planet.

It explains the work that was done to make the landing on the new planet possible.

It gives background information about the children's lives before landing on the new planet.

It gives Maria the strength to be the first to leave the ship to explore the new planet.














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!”

Every star has a beginning, when light first bursts from it. Then it shines on and on, for millions, even billions of years. But every star comes to an end. And sometimes a star's final moments are an all-out frenzy. After the dust clears, a black hole may be all that's left.

—A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole,
Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano

What happens when a star comes to an end?

It can become a Sun.
It can become a black hole.
It can become a whirlpool.
It can just disappear.

In a response of three to five sentences, explain how Macbeth changes throughout the scene in this lesson. Use the lines from Group A, when he first hears the weird sisters' greeting, and Group B, the aside he makes after he learns he has been named Thane of Cawdor, to support your answer. You must cite from and explain these lines in your response.

Group A
By Sinel's death I know I am Thane of Glamis;
But how of Cawdor? The Thane of Cawdor lives,
A prosperous gentleman; and to be King
Stands not within the prospect of belief,
No more than to be Cawdor.

Group B
[Aside.] Two truths are told,
As happy prologues to the swelling act
Of the imperial (royal) theme-…
If good, why do I yield to that suggestion
Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair
And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,
Against the use of nature? Present fears
Are less than horrible imaginings:
My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,
Shakes so my single state of man that function
Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is
But what is not.

The priest stared down at his scuffed brown loafers and the worn hem of his cassock. "for a christian burial it was necessary." his voice was distant, and leon thought that his blue eyes looked tired. "it's o.k., father, we just want him to have plenty of water." the priest sank down into the green chair and picked up a glossy missionary magazine. he turned the colored pages full of lepers and pagans without looking at them. "you know i can't do that, leon. there should have been the last rites and a funeral mass at the very least." based on this excerpt, what can be inferred about father paul’s feelings? he secretly feels frustrated that leon and the pueblo people hold on to their traditional beliefs. he hopes to convince the pueblo people to convert from their traditional beliefs to christianity. he is upset because he is unable to stand up to leon’s demands and manipulations. he is discouraged because leon does not view the holy water as a holy symbol.

Read the excerpt from "A Performance to Remember."

Bonaly earned a silver medal, losing to Japan’s Yuka Sato. A visibly upset Bonaly claimed that her routine was far more difficult than Sato’s. She not only refused to stand on the second place winner’s spot at the podium but also removed her silver medal from around her neck. Some say that she behaved poorly. To that, Bonaly responded, “When you do sport, the rule is that you're supposed to play fair, to be a good athlete and good sport, I get it,"…"But I think at this point it was more an act of saying, 'OK, this is too much.' It happened many years in a row."

How does this section contribute to the development of ideas in the text?


It illustrates that Bonaly is willing to speak up about injustice.

It is an example of how Bonaly has changed the rules of skating.

It supports the author's claim that Bonaly is disrespectful.

It shows how Bonaly learned to compete fairly.
