Have you ever been to a zoo? You were probably able to see many animals that you had only ever seen in a science textbook. The experience you had at the zoo was probably memorable and taught you things you never knew before.Zoos allow animals to live in a safe environment. These animals do not have to worry about the threat or stress of predators. They do not have to deal with the irritation or pain of injuries and illnesses that they would if they lived in the wild. Animals in the zoo are given top-quality treatment when they are hurt or in need of special care. The animals are hydrated and fed, and zookeepers are sure to give them a high-quality diet with all the nutrients needed. A good zoo provides great care and protection for the animals in their care. Because there are many species of animals in danger of going extinct, zoos provide an even more important role in our world. Zoos help protect species going extinct. A species that is kept in captivity is a zoo’s effort to help rebuild the population. Once the population is rebuilt, the zoos can reintroduce the animals to the wild. Without zoos, many more species would be extinct. When an animal species is extinct, there is no new research that can be done. Many children and adults enjoy seeing animals in person. Kids learn seeing, hearing, smelling and watching what an animal does. This allows humans to have a greater understanding of animal species that they would never have had the chance to learn about if zoos did not exist. When we as humans have opportunities to learn about the animals on our planet, we can make the right decisions in order to keep our ecosystems successfully functioning.
1. What is the author’s message? In the other circles (4), write the author’s evidence and reasons you found in the text.

2. Why did the author write this?

3. Find one sentence that supports the author’s claim that zoos are an enjoyable experience for visitors.

4. What claim is the author making in paragraph 2?

5. Find one piece of evidence that supports your answer to #4.

Answers

1. The authors message is to explain why zoos are important. The author wrote “Because there are many species of animals in danger of going extinct, zoos provide an even more important role in our world. Zoos help protects species going extinct.”

2. The author wrote this passage to educate the reader about why zoos exist, what they do and how they are helpful and fun.

3.The author claims that the zoo is enjoyable by writing “Many children and adults enjoy seeing, hearing, smelling and watching what an animal does. This allows humans to have a greater understanding of animal species that they would have never have had the chance to learn about if zoos didn’t exist.”

4. (pretty sure this is paragraph two if not sorry) The author is claiming that Zoos are a safe and healthy place for animals to get better in health and have a safer environment without having to worry about predators.

5. Evidence for number 4 is “Zoos allow animals to live in a safe environment. These animals do not have to worry about the threat or stress of predators. They do not have to deal with the irritation or pain if injuries and illnesses that they would if they lived in the wild.”

In a paragraph of 5 sentences, use the TIE strategy (topic, information, express) to explain two central ideas of the textbook entry below. Be sure to include evidence to support your response.

Answers

The central ideas from the above excerpt are:

The poor background of Abraham LincolnHard Work

How does the TIE Strategy explain the above?

The topic that can be derived based on the first central idea is:
The Humble beginnings of Abraham Lincoln.

The Information that relates to the above is given as follows:

"Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12th, 1809, in a log shanty on a lonely little farm in Kentucky."

The text also suggests that growing up the Lincoln family lived in the woods. Their home was a hut which had no door and required deer skin to keep the cold out during winter.

About a year after Abraham's mother died, their father married again. During this time, he discovered school and taught himself how to read.

His most enduring quality however, was his ability to work very hard. He would negotiate with neighbors to split their wood for clothing and was never sloppy about it.

Express:

From the above, it is clear that although Abraham Lincoln had very humble beginnings, his most distinguishing quality which helped him overcome his lowly background was hardwork.

In “The Gift of the Magi” the author concludes the story by stating this:

“But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are the wisest. They are the magi.”

Answers

Answer:

I agree with the author's perspective in "The gift of the magi". The ability to give a gift itself without the expressed intent of receiving one back in a noble trait that not many people poses today. likewise with the ability to graciously receive a gift without greed or discontent in your heart is also a noble trait. I feel that the author is touching on something that is rare in our modern world & even sometimes looked down upon as "Poor" or "Needy". That is my personal view on this matter.

I like this a lot due to the fact of the statistics stated in such a clear regard!

I chose TJ

Answers

The lynching that TJ suffers is an experience that shows how black people were blamed for things that were innocent in the Jim Crown South.

What happened to TJ?He was blamed for a crime he didn't commit.He was persecuted by the population for this crime.He was attacked and people were about to kill him in a public square.

The South under Jim Crow laws was extremely racist. Blacks were treated as inferior beings and suffered the most varied types of abuse. This made living together very difficult and limited the freedom and ability of African Americans.

TJ was a black kid seen as a troublemaker. He behaved badly and was cheating, vindictive, dishonest, and quarrelsome, but he wasn't a criminal.

However, that didn't stop him from being accused of a crime he didn't commit.

The community decided to make him pay for this crime with death, even without investigating the possible culprits. This shows that the South at that time was very violent with blacks and that their word had no relevance, as they were held responsible for everything.

The coming of the Green Knight

Now I will say no more of the service, but that ye may know there was no lack, for there drew near a venture that the folk might well have left their labour to gaze upon. As the sound of the music ceased, and the first course had been fitly served, there came in at the hall door one terrible to behold, of stature greater than any on earth; from neck to loin so strong and thickly made, and with limbs so long and so great that he seemed even as a giant. And yet he was but a man, only the mightiest that might mount a steed; broad of chest and shoulders and slender of waist, and all his features of like fashion; but men marvelled much at his colour, for he rode even as a knight, yet was green all over.

The fashion of the knight

For he was clad all in green, with a straight coat, and a mantle above; all decked and lined with fur was the cloth and the hood that was thrown back from his locks and lay on his shoulders. Hose had he of the same green, and spurs of bright gold with silken fastenings richly worked; and all his vesture was verily green. Around his waist and his saddle were bands with fair stones set upon silken work, 'twere too long to tell of all the trifles that were embroidered thereon–birds and insects in gay gauds of green and gold.

What is the best description of the mood created by the setting of this passage?

A) Humorous, because the knight was not invited to the party
B) Peaceful, because the knight brought a sense of calm to the party
C) Threatening, because the knight showed up suddenly to the party
D) Uplifting, because the knight who showed up is interesting and glamorous
