I can revise a text in order to make cohesive meaning. I can describe how archetypal images are used in literature. I can apply before, during, and after reading strategies to increase comprehension of increasingly challenging text. I can write an essay.

13. (1) Often, my brother and I joined our mother on her adventures into tidal lands. (2) At the very low tides of the full moon, when almost all the water was sucked away, we found the hideaways where crabs, snails, starfish, and sea urchins hid in order not to be seen. (3) Sometimes we would dig with shovels in the mud, where yellow and white worms lived in their leathery tunnels. A. No Change B. 2,1,3 C. 2,3,1 D. 3,1,2

The best answer is A because it is the only choice that places Sentence 1 as the introduction to the paragraph. There is no other logical placement for Sentence 1 because it provides information that the narrator and the brother are joining the mother on their "adventures into tidal lands." If either Sentence 2 or Sentence 3 introduced the paragraph, the reader would be confused.

14. For plankton tows, we would stand on the bridge while Mom lowered a cone-shaped net that is often used by marine biologists. Given that all of the choices are true, which one provides information that is relevant and that makes the rest of this paragraph understandable? F. No Change G. Had a specimen bottle attached to its smaller end. H. Was woven from cotton and nylon material. J. Was shaped like a geometric figure.

 The best answer is G because the information about the attached "specimen bottle" is critical to understanding the last sentence of the essay, which describes the mother "peering at a drop of water from the bottle."

 15. Later, we would see her sitting at the kitchen table, peering at a drop of water through the lenses of her microscope from the bottle-watching the thousands of tiny swimming organisms. The best placement for the underlined portion would be: A. Where it is now. B. After the word lenses C. After the word microscope D. After the word bottle (but before the dash)

The best answer is C. It is the only choice where the sentence elements are placed in a logical, comprehensible order. The mother is "peering through the lenses of her microscope at a drop of water from the bottle." No other order makes sense.

 You will have 15 minutes to take the WFA. Read the questions carefully and then read the passage. Next reread the questions. Think about the best answer. Choose the best answer. Write the answers on your own paper and enter them into the clicker.

Where is Santiago on the wheel? Discuss with an elbow partner. Be ready to discuss whole group.

Finish reading to page 25 and answer the questions on your own paper. You will only have 15 minutes to finish your work from last class. In order to study for the test, you will be responsible for keeping up with all your work with The Alchemist unit.

 With a small group discuss the answers to the questions. Decide with your group, which member answers the question most fluently and correctly. Be ready to discuss with the class.

Read pages and answer the questions. If you do not finish the work in class, you must finish at home. There is a PDF of the book on the webpage as well as the questions. In order to study for the test, you will be responsible for keeping up with all your work with The Alchemist unit.

Think about a time in your life when you were “lucky”. What happened? Explain in detail. This should be a 3.5 personal narrative essay. Meaning that you must have an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Do not forget transition words.
