Claim 1

What do you think about when you toss a plastic bag into the garbage? If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think about much at all. We don’t think about the fact that plastic bags take centuries to decay. We don’t think about how many bags end up in lakes, rivers, and oceans, harming wildlife and even causing death. However, we should think about all this. Better yet, we should do something about it: ban the use of plastic bags. If this happens, we’ll all feel better knowing that we’re not contributing to pollution and harming wildlife. And besides, plastic bags are not a necessity. Paper bags are an alternative, and so are reusable cloth bags.


Claim 2

It seems like we are drowning in plastic bags, but before you decide to ban them, you should remember some of the reasons companies started using plastic back in the 1970s. Before there was plastic, there was paper and cardboard, which are made from trees. So, switching from paper to plastic saved some trees. Plastic also saved people money because it kept food fresher for longer. Also, it is lighter than cardboard or glass, so it was cheaper to ship things wrapped in plastic. Plus, plastic is safer than glass, which tends to break. So, yes, we should be using less plastic, but it does not make sense to ban it until we find a better solution.

Walking is not the most exciting form of exercise a person can take on for fitness. Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment. That makes walking a simple activity for those new to exercise. Walking is less likely than other exercises to cause injury to leg tendons and muscles. All it requires is a good pair of sneakers-no cables, stylish outfits, or weights required. Of course, a person could increase the benefit of a workout by adding weights or speed walking.

Which of the following statements supports the main idea in this paragraph? (5 points)

Walking is boring.
Walking has a low risk of injury.
Walking requires sneakers in good condition.
Walking is too easy for those who exercise regularly.

Read the article "The History of O'Hare International Airport" and answer the question.

Planning for the construction of O'Hare International Airport began in 1945 when a committee chose Orchard Field as the location of the future airport. In 1955, the airport opened to commercial air traffic and O'Hare International Airport served as a hub for travelers throughout the world.

To respond to the increasing number of passengers, the airport expanded. O'Hare added a fifth runway and opened a terminal for international travel. Passengers could take flights to other countries and throughout the United States. The amount of land used by the airport grew to about 7,200 acres. This expansion included airplane hangars, cargo buildings, and even a post office. Next, there was an expressway built to connect O'Hare International Airport with downtown Chicago. People could travel to and from the airport quickly and easily, making it a desirable location. Finally, the main terminal building and parking lot were completed. These expansions led to a greater number of passengers. In 1962, 10 million passengers traveled through the airport that year alone. O'Hare was officially the world's busiest airport.

O'Hare's growth was accompanied by innovation. In order to increase efficiency, the airport developed a task force that allowed three runways to be used at the same time in 1976. The Passenger Facility Charge, which charged passengers for using the airport, was introduced in 1990. This money was used to improve and modernize the airport. The Airport Transit System was created to help transport passengers between terminals in 1993.

In 1996, the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission was created to help surrounding neighborhoods deal with aircraft noise. To aid with the O'Hare Modernization Program, a Sustainable Design Manual was created in 2003. This cutting-edge document helped the airport think about the environment during the modernization process. The principles outlined in the manual were later used in a similar document in August 2009 that promoted environmental sustainability at the airport. Over the years, O'Hare International Airport has grown and innovated to manage its expansion.

2.Which character/animal is spreading lies at the farm? Describe his main lie.
3.Who are the two main leaders on the farm after the Revolution? Who do they represent from Russia’s revolution?

To answer this question, you will read two articles. First, read Article 1.

Planning for the construction of O'Hare International Airport began in 1945 when a committee chose Orchard Field as the location of the future airport. In 1955, the airport opened to commercial air traffic and O'Hare International Airport served as a hub for travelers throughout the world.

To respond to the increasing number of passengers, the airport expanded. O'Hare added a fifth runway and opened a terminal for international travel. Passengers could take flights to other countries and throughout the United States. The amount of land used by the airport grew to about 7,200 acres. This expansion included airplane hangars, cargo buildings, and even a post office. Next, there was an expressway built to connect O'Hare International Airport with downtown Chicago. People could travel to and from the airport quickly and easily, making it a desirable location. Finally, the main terminal building and parking lot were completed. These expansions led to a greater number of passengers. In 1962, 10 million passengers traveled through the airport that year alone. O'Hare was officially the world's busiest airport.

O'Hare's growth was accompanied by innovation. In order to increase efficiency, the airport developed a task force that allowed three runways to be used at the same time in 1976. The Passenger Facility Charge, which charged passengers for using the airport, was introduced in 1990. This money was used to improve and modernize the airport. The Airport Transit System was created to help transport passengers between terminals in 1993. In 1996, the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission was created to help surrounding neighborhoods deal with aircraft noise. To aid with the O'Hare Modernization Program, a Sustainable Design Manual was created in 2003. This cutting-edge document helped the airport think about the environment during the modernization process. The principles outlined in the manual were later used in a similar document in August 2009 that promoted environmental sustainability at the airport. Over the years, O'Hare International Airport has grown and innovated to manage its expansion.

Read Article 2 and answer the question.

Between O'Hare and Midway International Airports, over one thousand flights depart Chicago every day. When planes take off and land, they create vibrations. These vibrations create noise in Chicago neighborhoods. In the early days of both airports, the city of Chicago realized that aircraft noise was a problem. People were unable to talk on their phones, watch television, or sleep peacefully at night.

In 1996, the O'Hare and Midway Noise Compatibility Commissions were created to help solve the noise problem. The Commissions searched for ways to reduce the effect of aircraft noise on the surrounding neighborhoods. First, pilots and air controllers volunteered to follow the Fly Quiet Program. The program suggested that pilots use runways and flight paths over forests, highways, and industrial areas at night. By avoiding housing areas, pilots and air controllers decreased the noise level of the airplanes in these areas. That way, people would be able to sleep.

Next, the commissions focused on using sound insulation in homes near the airports. If residents lived in an area that experienced a high volume of noise, then they were eligible to have their homes insulated. Residents were given different options. Their homes could be insulated by installing special windows, doors, or air conditioning. Similar steps were also taken to insulate private and public schools in the affected areas.

The continued presence of the O'Hare and Midway Noise Compatibility Commissions is evident today. An Airport Noise Management System uses noise monitors to measure the noise levels in neighborhoods each day. A Community Outreach Vehicle distributes information about aircraft noise. Residents can use the Flight Tracker program. This online program shows images of where planes fly. If there is still a problem with noise, people can call the hotline or complete an online form.

How is the structure of Article 1 different from the structure of Article 2?

Article 1 uses cause and effect to show the impact of the airport's expansion, while Article 2 uses chronological order to show the steps taken to reduce noise over time.
Article 1 uses comparison and contrast to describe the airport in the past and present, while Article 2 uses cause and effect to show how aircraft noise angered the surrounding neighborhoods.
Article 1 uses chronological order to show the events that led to the present airport, while Article 2 uses a problem and solution text structure to show how noise is reduced in neighborhoods around the airports.
Article 1 uses problem and solution to show the issues faced by the growing airport, while Article 2 uses comparison and contrast to show the difference insulation makes.

What skills do you need to participate successfully in a collaborative discussion about an assigned novel?

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Part A


Which inference can be drawn about Bilbo's character in The Hobbit?


He is stronger than he thought, and he wants to finish the quest without the untrustworthy dwarves.

He is quick thinking and clever, but still needs a lot of luck to survive the trials of the quest.

He struggles to keep the dwarves' attention, and he feels unappreciated by them.

His initial fears about his inability are true; he isn't a good choice for the quest.



Part b Which excerpts best support the answer in Part A?

Select the two correct answers.


"Fili and Kili, however, who were young (for dwarves) and had also been packed more neatly with plenty of straw into smaller casks, came out more or less smiling, with only a bruise or two and a stiffness that soon wore off.

"''I hope I never smell the smell of apples again!' said Fili. 'My tub was full of it. To smell apples everlastingly when you can scarcely move and are cold and sick with hunger is maddening. I could eat anything in the wide world now, for hours on end—but not an apple!'"


"Bilbo wondered what the dwarves were feeling and whether a lot of water was getting into their tubs. Some of those that bobbed along by him in the gloom seemed pretty low in the water, and he guessed that these had dwarves inside.

"'I do hope I put the lids on tight enough!' he thought."

"The washing-up was so dismally real that Bilbo was forced to believe the party of the night before had not been part of his bad dreams, as he had rather hoped. Indeed he was really relieved after all to think that they had all gone without him, and without bothering to wake him up ('but with never a thank-you' he thought); and yet in a way he could not help feeling just a trifle disappointed. The feeling surprised him."

"With the willing help of Fili and Kili, Thorin and Bilbo at last discovered the remainder of the company and got them out. Poor fat Bombur was asleep or senseless; Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin and Gloin were waterlogged and seemed only half alive; they all had to be carried one by one and laid helpless on the shore."

In "Caline," how does Caline feel after she has been in the city for a week?


She is upset because she realizes that she craves love, not life in the city.

She is nervous because she doesn't like her new job.

She is angry because the people in the city look down on her.

She is pleased because she likes her new job.

Which evidence from "Caline" best supports the answer in Part A?


"Caline liked it very well, for it was pleasant, on Sunday afternoons, to stroll with the children under the great, solemn sugar sheds; or to sit upon the compressed cotton bales, watching the stately steamers . . ."

"When the woman asked her again after another week if she were still pleased, she was not so sure."

"For she knew now that it was not the great city and its crowds of people she had so eagerly sought; but the pleasant-faced boy, who had made her picture that day under the mulberry tree."

"And again when she questioned Caline the girl turned away, and went to sit behind the big, yellow cistern, to cry unobserved."
