(the poem


I gaze out the tour bus window at an ancient land.

The green fields could tell tales of centuries past.

Snaking rivers have chased their own tails and shed their blue skins

But are here for now.


5 I see a grove of trees sway slightly in the soft wind ahead.

Branches mime silent secrets beyond the window.

Shades of leaves have bloomed and faded and fallen again

But are here for now.


I look at a town of rubble beyond the passing trees.

10 Broken bricks and shattered shingles lie in a crisp grid of ruin.

This ancient village has prospered and faded, now felled by the axe of progress,

But is here for now.


It looks as if trees were planted to obscure the past.
These walls of leaves hide houses in pieces.
15 Someone wants to forget this short breath of history that has come and drifted onward

But is here for now.

Ahead a city gleams, a new horizon on ancient land.

Miles of glass and steel that speak at night with endless light.

A great future has arrived—an immovable age!

20 A permanent page in humanity’s tome of tales!—

But it is really only here for now.

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.

League women came and went, usually at a run. Some were "ladies,” like Mary Dreier, others were worker-members, like Rose Schneiderman, a former cap maker, and Leonora O’Reilly, who had started work in a collar factory at the age of eleven. Another League member, Rose Pastor Stokes, known as the red Yiddish Cinderella, used to work in a cigar factory. When she became engaged to the son of a millionaire — they had met at a settlement house — front page headlines in the New York Times announced J. G. Phelps Stokes to Wed Young Jewess. At strike headquarters Mrs. Stokes delivered fiery speeches about freeing workers from the shackles of the bosses.

What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text?

The women of the league were wealthy women who had little-to-no experience working in a garment factory.
The support of wealthy league women contributed to the successful outcome of the female garment workers' strike.
Women who worked in garment factories were often married, so it was not critical that they receive equal pay.
Women who did not need to work were not interested in or aware of the difficulties faced by garment factory workers.

When you begin a writing assignment, it is important that you outline the main points you intend to address. Keeping yourself organized when you write and having a clear plan is important. You will now complete an outline for a personal narrative essay. You will organize the main points that you want to include in your actual narrative essay. In your narrative outline, you will need to include the main points below in your outline.

Since personal narratives usually tell a story, they use standard plot elements, such as exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.

Topic: Clearly state your chosen topic for your narrative here.



I. Introduction: In one to two sentences, provide background on the main point of your narrative. You likely want to summarize the five Ws plus how so that you are able to set the scene and establish your main characters.



II. First Body Paragraph: In one to two sentences, summarize the rising action of your narrative.



III. Second Body Paragraph: In one to two sentences, summarize the climax of your narrative.



IV. Third Body Paragraph: In one to two sentences, summarize the falling action (or what occurs after the climax) of your narrative.

1. Continually under threat, they would flee for their lives, losing their way in the wilderness.Does the sentence on the left help answer the guiding question? How so?

2. they would flee for their lives,First question Who or what does they refer to in this chunk? How do you know? Second question Why did the author use the word would?

TEXT 1:Since 1983, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and the Sudanese Government have been at war in southern Sudan. The conflict has already claimed more than 500,000 lives and displaced huge numbers of people. Among these were at least 20,000 children, mostly boys, between 7 and 17 years of age who were separated from their families. These ‘lost boys’ of the Sudan trekked enormous distances over a vast unforgiving wilderness, seeking refuge from the fighting. Hungry, frightened and weakened by sleeplessness and disease, they crossed from the Sudan into Ethiopia and back, with many dying along the way. The survivors are now in camps in Kenya, the Sudan and Uganda

Question 1: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?

TEXT 2:This extraordinary exodus has its origins in traditional forms of migration. After being initiated into manhood, young adolescent boys in southern Sudan have generally been quite mobile. Organized into small groups of their peers, they would leave home for a period to look after cattle. Or they might head for the towns or cities to go to school or to seek their fortune, before eventually returning home. In addition, at times of stress families all over Africa send their children elsewhere to find safety, food, work and schooling.

Question 2: What's the main idea,detail 1 and detail 2?

TEXT 3:But during the war this process has escalated dramatically. Fearing they would be targeted as potential combatants, many boys left their villages and headed for cities such as Juba and Khartoum. Here they hoped to find work or schooling, though as these cities became saturated with migrants, the boys often had to resort to begging or petty crime.


Question 3: What's the main idea ONLY???

TEXT 4:.Others set out for refugee camps in Ethiopia. Some travelled with friends or relatives, others slipped away on their own at night. Few had any idea of what lay ahead of them. They believed the trek would last only a few days and discovered that they faced a harrowing journey of 6 to 10 weeks. Continually under threat, they would flee for their lives, losing their way in the wilderness. Often they lost everything en route—blankets, sheets, shoes, clothes and pots—to soldiers, swindlers or bandits. Many fell victim to killer diseases. Others were so weakened by hunger and lack of sleep that they could go no further and sat down by the roadside—prey for lions and other animals.

Question 4:What are the Hopes/Expectations and Realities


LAST QUESTION:Take a moment to jot down the central idea. So far, the author shows...
