Read the lyrics from Natalie Merchant's song "Wonder."

with love, with patience and with faith
she'll make her way

How might these words have inspired the author of the novel Wonder?

They may have made the author decide that August's mother should have only two children, because raising a lot of children is hard work.
They may have inspired the author to make August's character have to be homeschooled and his sister's character be able to go to a regular school.
They may have made the author decide that August's character should be a boy to avoid any confusion between the novel and the song.
They may have inspired the author to make August's character strong enough to face the challenges of a new school with the loving support of his family.

The Ornithopter

Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.

In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.

Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.

Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.

Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.

As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.

But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.



He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn't ask.

Passage
Maya disliked the desert because she was afraid of snakes. She had only agreed to go hiking because her friend Melissa had guaranteed they wouldn't come across any snakes. But even with her friend's promises, instead of enjoying the scenery, Maya was scanning the desert floor for any sign of movement.

"Maya, quit staring at the ground and look at this awesome view," said Melissa, thinking that Maya was being a baby and there was nothing to worry about. Maya knew that Melissa was right, so she tried to relax and enjoy their hike.

Deep in conversation, neither girl heard the rattle of the snake hidden on the trail up ahead.

One of the many things that authors have to consider when writing is the audience they are writing for. The author may use specific techniques to interest a particular audience, or shape their writing to ensure that their specific audience will understand the main ideas. For example, if you were writing an instruction manual for rocket scientists, it would likely look very different from one you would write for young children. Your language, tone, and writing style would change significantly.

You will be writing two separate paragraphs in this journal entry, each intended for a very different audience. Imagine you have been asked to write a paragraph about something you can do to improve your school or community. First, write the paragraph imagining that the readers of the paragraph will be first- and second-graders at the local elementary school. Then, revise the paragraph, this time writing it for an audience of political repesentatives in your city.

Your response should be no less than 150 words in total, and must include both versions of the paragraph.

which sentence most clearly contains idiom?

Use the passage to complete the activity.

Claim: Wolves no longer need protection.

Tension exists between the ranchers who feel threatened by wolves and the conservationists who want to see wolves protected. Many ranchers want to remove federal protections for the gray wolves. They want to allow hunting again. They point to increased wolf populations in several states. Numbers have grown from under 1,000 to more than 5,000. The increase has led to more wolf attacks on sheep and cattle. Conservationists say that current wolf packs and populations are not at all stable. They point to the fact that wolves neared extinction before laws protecting them were enacted. Allowing hunting could eliminate the gains.

In 3 to 5 sentences, explain whether the author's evidence is relevant and sufficient to support the claim. Explain how the author could make the paragraph stronger.

According to both passages, in which two ways do most Americans' breakfast preferences differ from the rest of the world?

Passage 1

Breakfast in America

In America, breakfast is the only meal that is still eaten at home by most of the population. About 80% of Americans eat the first meal of the day at home. The other 20% of people either skip breakfast or buy their morning meal outside of the home.
Most Americans eat dry cereal with milk for breakfast. Fruit juices, such as orange juice and apple juice, are common breakfast drinks. Eggs, with or without bacon, are the second most common morning meal. Bagels, muffins, and pastries are eaten less often than cereal and eggs.
The breakfast trends in America are changing, though. While cereal is still the most popular breakfast food, its sales have started declining sharply in the last few years. Instead, more Americans are reaching for portable breakfast items, like yogurt and sandwiches. Many people who eat breakfast want a satisfying meal without a lot of added sugar. Breakfast items rising in popularity are higher in fiber and protein than dry cereal.
A typical "All-American Breakfast" on the menu at restaurants might include eggs, bacon, ham, toast, potatoes, and coffee. However, most Americans are eating a lot less food in the mornings. They are also on the lookout for breakfast items that are easy to prepare and easy to carry.

Passage 2

What's for Breakfast?

The nutrients you eat in the morning help give your body energy all day long. In the United States, like in some other countries, cereal in milk is a popular breakfast food. However, unlike the United States, many other countries include seafood, meats, and vegetables in their morning meal.
All over the world, people eat foods for breakfasts that most people in the United States would save for later meals or not eat at all. In Japan, miso soup, white rice, squash with soy sauce, and grilled salmon are part of a common breakfast. In both Brazil and Germany, large pieces of bread served with cheese and meat, such as ham and sausage, make up the morning meal. In China, breakfasts vary greatly by region.
Dim sum, which is made up of small plates of food such as dumplings and marinated meat, is one traditional breakfast option in the large country. A soup made of egg, milk, and green onions is a morning staple in Columbia. In Nigeria, moi moi, which is a paste made of ground beans, is wrapped in leaves and steamed for breakfast. In both Australia and France, breakfast cereals served with fruit and bread are common for breakfast. In Turkey, small plates of many items, such as tomato slices, olives, bread, cheese, eggs, cucumbers, jam, honey, and sausage, make up breakfast.
Though breakfasts around the world look different, they all serve the same purpose—to satisfy your hunger, at least until lunch!
